We de-starch leaves so as to remove the starch produced in it during photosynthesis stored as food. Removing the starch would help us to infer our observations clearly as there is no change or substance that would effect the experiment we want to carry out. For example , the indicators we use might give blue-black or green colors just because of the presence or absence of starch.
Answer:
A-T
Explanation:
purine adenine (A) always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine (T)
pyrimidine cytosine (C) always pairs with the purine guanine (G)
The energy released from glucose during this reaction is used and also wasted. Some of the energy is used as work while some amounts are used in other processes or stored for transfer to other organisms. Also, some of the energy is wasted in the form of heat.
Answer:
This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose.
Explanation:
Answer:
A photosynthetic cell within a plant leaf produces chemical energy, stored within glucose molecules.
Explanation:
The energy captured from sunlight by Photosystems in chlorophyll is used to split a water molecule and reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. This energy from sunlight is therefore stored in the chemical bonds of the glucose molecules. It is thereafter harnessed during cellular respiration when the chemical bonds of glucose are broken and the energy transferred to make ATP molecules.
