Plants use sunlight to convert nutrients into energy. What form of energy transfer is taking place?

Biology

Fudgin [204]3 years ago

Plants converts solar energy into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis . The electron and proton from the water molecules are used to produce energy transport molecules i.e ATP and NADPH,  in the light reaction phase of photosynthesis. The energy of the sun excites the chlorophyll molecule which in turn release high energy electron. The energy of ATP and NADPH is further used to fix the carbon in the Kelvin cycle.

Answer: The correct answer is-

Solar energy ( light energy ) to Chemical energy.

Plants synthesize their own food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis.

During this process, energy from sunlight is first absorbed by chlorophyll ( a green pigment present in the chloroplast) and then it is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

In the next phase ( a light independent phase), this chemical energy is then used for the formation of carbohydrate ( glucose).

Thus, light energy is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Which statement best describes the social status of women in ancient Egypt? Women were viewed as the lowest social class. Women
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

In ancient Egypt, women were given many of the same rights as men.

Explanation:

The women in ancient Egypt were in no way seen as the lowest social class, so this statement is not correct.

The women were allowed by law to do pretty much everything as the men, so their status was not dependent on their husbands, so it is not a correct statement.

The women were equal in front of law in ancient Egypt, as well as being able to do the same things as men, so this statement is correct.

Women did not have the same status as their fathers, so this is not a correct statement.

How to compare the reactants and products of photosynthesis with the reactants and products of respiration?
Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

during photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are taken in by the autotrophs and energy is produced in the form of glucose, which is stored in plants in the form of another moleculecalled as sucrose. Know that oxygen is just a byproduct thus formed after photosynthesis.

during aerobic repiration oxygen and glucose are consumed to give energy as in ATP, adenosine triphosphate, and water. and carbon dioxide is a waste product
