Answer:
E. Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction, and cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction.
Explanation:
Anabolic or endergonic reaction is a type of reaction that uses energy. In this type of reaction small, simple molecules join to make larger complex molecules. For example photosynthesis, during which carbon dioxide and water are react to synthesise glucose and oxygen.
Catabolic or exergonic reaction is a type of reaction that gives energy. in this reaction large molecules are broken down into smaller ones. For example respiration, during which glucose in presence of oxygen is broken into carbon dioxide and water.
Answer:
The total amount of organic matter from plants and animals in a habitat.
Explanation:
Biomass can be defined in ecological terms and in industrial (environmental science) terms. Ecologically, it is defined by the total mass of organisms (not organic matter) given a specific area or ecosystem. This definition is not in the choices therefore the industrial term for environmental science should be appropriate. In environmental science, biomass is the organic matter from living organisms whether wastes or dead animals or plants that can be used as fuel in powering power plants to produce electricity (mainly). Therefore from that definition, the correct answer is: All materials that form from the remains of living organisms.
