The correct answer is B. Heat is trapped by carbon dioxide.

Explanation

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, this means that this gas causes the sun's rays to get trapped in the Earth's atmosphere after they pass through it. The greenhouse effect is the concentration of temperature in the atmosphere without leaving because greenhouse gases prevent the release of radiation. According to the above, if Lionel increases the amount of carbon dioxide, the temperature will increase because carbon dioxide will prevent its exit. So, the correct answer is C. Carbon dioxide generates heat.

Describe the stages of photosynthesis. Use the terms thylakoid, light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.
KatRina [158]

Photosynthesis in plants occurs in two stages. These stages are known as the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin Cycle.

The first stage of photosynthesis is the light dependent reactions.  These reactions take place on the thylakoid membrane inside the chloroplast.  During this stage light energy is converted to ATP (chemical energy) and NADPH (reducing power).

<span>The second stage of photosynthesis is the Calvin Cycle.  These reactions occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.  Energy from ATP and electrons from NADPH are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose and other products.</span>

Answer:

wavelength: the distance between successive crests of a wave

frequency: the rate per second of a vibration constituting a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light)

electromagnetic energy is used for wifi, cell phones, microwave ovens etc.

the electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visisble light, ultraviolet, xrays and gamma rays

the only part we can see is visible light

visible light can be characterised by the colours of the rainbow

the longest wavelength is red and the shortest is violet

when combined, the colour is perceived as white or beige
