Many plants and animals would die off <span>if a nearby volcano erupted and filled the sky with dust particles, which caused significantly less sunlight to reach the ecosystem over the course of a year.</span>
Answer:
Blood plasma:
55% composition of blood contains blood plasma. The plasma contains various proteins and coagulating factors. This mainly include the fluid portion of the blood. Plasma is a straw colored liquid that contains antibodies as well as serum.
Formed elements:
45% composition of blood contains formed element. The formed elements contain RBCs, WBCs and platelets. This mainly include the cells portion of the blood. Formed elements is red color or no color depending on the pigment present in the cells of formed element.
Answer:
A glance of earth taken from space will depict it blue. This blue colour is actually water, the major part of the earth is covered with water. We need water for almost everything, for example- drinking, bathing, cooking etc and therefore we should know about the properties of water. 65 % human body is composed of water. Water is essential for the survival of life on earth. Water is distributed unevenly on the earth’s surface. It forms a major solvent and dissolves almost every polar solute. So let us have a look at its properties.
Physical properties of water : Water is a colourless and tasteless liquid. The molecules of water have extensive hydrogen bonds resulting in unusual properties in the condensed form. This also leads to high melting and boiling points. As compared to other liquids, water has a higher specific heat, thermal conductivity, surface tension, dipole moment etc. These properties form the reason for its significance in the biosphere. Water is an excellent solvent and therefore it helps in the transportation of ions and molecules required for metabolism. It has a high latent heat of vaporization which helps in the regulation of body temperature
Chemical properties of water: Amphoteric nature:
Water can act as both acid and base, which means that it is amphoteric in nature.
Example:
Acidic Behaviour: H2O(l)+NH3(aq) ⇌ H3O+(aq)+NH+4(aq)
Basic Behavior: H2O(l)+H2S(aq) ⇌ H3O+(aq)+HS−(aq)
Redox reactions:
Electropositive elements reduce water to hydrogen molecule. Thus water is a great source of hydrogen. Let us see an example in this case:
2H2O(l)+2Na(s)→2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)
During the process of photosynthesis, water is oxidized to O2. As water can be oxidized and reduced, it is very useful in redox reactions.
Hydrolysis reaction
Water has a very strong hydrating tendency due to its dielectric constant. It dissolves many ionic compounds. Some covalent and ionic compounds can be hydrolyzed in water.
Explanation:
<span>(Chloroplasts)
are found in unicellular organisms such as plants, and
(Mitochondria)
is found in almost all cells. (Chloroplasts convert light energy into sugar using photosynthesis,) and the (mitochondria converts sugar into ATP using cellular respiration.)
Both the mitochondria and chloroplast convert energy, have its own DNA, and are enclosed by two membranes.

Answer:
Photosynthesis
Explanation:
This is a role in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms. The flow of energy and cycling of matter can be traced.
