Concept explainers
To determine: The way by which green plants obtain energy.
Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose molecules by using energy from sunlight. During this process, oxygen gas is evolved. Reactions of the photosynthesis take place in the chloroplast of the plant cell that contains the green pigment chlorophyll.
To determine: The way by which green plants obtain carbon.

To determine: The way by which humans obtain energy and carbon.
Introduction: On the basis of nutritional requirements, the organisms are classified into four types, namely “photoautotroph, chemoautotroph, photoheterotroph, and chemoheterotroph”. These major groups are differentiated on the basis of their energy source and carbon source.

- What is/are the differences between photosynthesis and respiration? What is the relationship between respiration and plant growth?arrow_forwardDoes high temperature increase plant respiration? Why or why not?arrow_forwardWhy are plants that consume 30 ATP molecules to produce one molecule of glucose (rather than the usual 18 molecules of ATP per glucose molecule) favored in hot climates but not in cold climates? What role does temperature play?arrow_forward
- How do plants trap solar energy and form sugars and other biological molecules?arrow_forwardIf a plant was deprived of glucose, what would happen? Group of answer choices a-It would make its own glucose and be perfectly healthy. b-It would perform alcoholic fermentation instead of respiration. c-Its chloroplasts would no longer function correctly. d-It would perform lactic acid fermentation instead of respiration. Photosynthesis would stop occurring, causing the leaves to change color.arrow_forwardHow is the energy from the sun transported within chloroplasts and ultimately used to createNADPH and ATP? What would happen if you forgot to water your plant for several days? Whatif a plant were only exposed to read light – would photosynthesis be possible? Support youranswer with details of the processes involved. *I asked this question before and i didn't get an answer. please answer the question i asked how it's asked don't answer a question you wish i had asked.arrow_forward
- What are the major outputs of photosynthesis? Select all that apply. O2 Sugars H2O CO2arrow_forwardWhat is the autotrophs and photo autotrophs and difference? Describe the energy transfer in photosynthesis how it works?arrow_forwardIf you can observe plant lovers, they usually water their plants early in the morning and/or late afternoon. How are watering plants related to the process of photosynthesis?arrow_forward
- what are the importance of energy cycle specially in plants and other living things. please specify and explain each.arrow_forwardWhat structure is used to transport organic molecules from the leaf to other parts of the plant? Why are leaves green? How does a plant increase its biomass What is the function of the photosystemsarrow_forwardWhen chlorophyll absorbs the energy in sunlight, this energy: Activates electrons in chlorophyll Generates heat used by the plant for photosynthesis O Is used to break apart sugararrow_forward
