This space station has plants growing inside it, and astronauts who eat the fruits and vegetables from those plants. Because it

is in space, the station is sealed so no material can get in or out.
The space station is in Earth’s shadow, so no light is getting into it. The sensors in the space station show that carbon dioxide in the air is increasing.

What is happening to the energy storage molecules in the plants and humans in the space station? Explain your answer as completely as possible.

Photosynthesis uses sunlight energy to make glucose (energy stores). A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. plants use water and sunlight to grow and they produce oxygen. Animals eat plants, use oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Since the space station is in the shadow of the earth, the plants are unable to complete the process of photosynthesis and the carbon dioxide that is being produced by the humans cannot be utilized by the plants due to no sunlight. Therefore the carbon dioxide is going to continue to build up as the energy storage molecules are being depleted and not replenished.

Answer:

In the light-independent reactions or Calvin cycle, the energized electrons from the light-dependent reactions provide the energy to form carbohydrates from carbon dioxide molecules.  

Explanation:

After the energy is transferred, the energy carrier molecules return to the light-dependent reactions to obtain more energized electrons.

A large-mouth bass is taken from a fresh water lake and transplanted into the river. If the conditions for survival are optimal,
liberstina [14]
The cells will make some sort of reaction, there's no doubt about it. But for a bass I believe that their cells will stay the same or shrink over time.
Bass are strong fish and they usually do well when there's a change in conditions made in the environment. But it depends on what this river has in it and if it leads to bigger opened waters.
If there's a shortage of food sources for the bass it'll have to adapt quickly or it'll die from the predators in the area. If there isn't any places the Bass can lay their eggs (reproduce) its population will die in that river.
There also competition. In that river it could have socked eye salmon in it or catfish even pikes. So the Bass cells would stay the same.

Hope this helps
