What is an energy source in the ocean

Biology
1 answer:
Nataly [62]3 years ago
8 0
There are multiple energy source in the ocean. The one thats probably the most common one are Dams. Although Dams can cause some serious flooding. Another one is Tidal energy. Tidal energy is something that turns the energy of tides into energy through Kinetic motion.<span />

Photosynthesis in algae cells

Ecosystems were able to maintain themselves by cycling the nutrients and energy obtained from external sources. The flow of energy through a food chain is known as energy flow. At tropical level, solar energy is used by the primary producers  to produce organic plants materials through photosynthesis.

Include an explanation of how light, Carbon dioxide, and Chlorophyll are relevant
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek phōs , "light", and sunthesis, "putting together". In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, most algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.

Schematic of photosynthesis in plants. The carbohydrates produced are stored in or used by the plant.

Overall equation for the type of photosynthesis that occurs in plants

Composite image showing the global distribution of photosynthesis, including both oceanic phytoplankton and terrestrial vegetation. Dark red and blue-green indicate regions of high photosynthetic activity in the ocean and on land, respectively.

Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centres that contain green chlorophyll pigments. In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. In these light-dependent reactions, some energy is used to strip electrons from suitable substances, such as water, producing oxygen gas. The hydrogen freed by the splitting of water is used in the creation of two further compounds that serve as short-term stores of energy, enabling its transfer to drive other reactions: these compounds are reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the "energy currency" of cells.

In plants, algae and cyanobacteria, long-term energy storage in the form of sugars is produced by a subsequent sequence of light-independent reactions called the Calvin cycle; some bacteria use different mechanisms, such as the reverse Krebs cycle, to achieve the same end. In the Calvin cycle, atmospheric carbon dioxide is incorporated into already existing organic carbon compounds, such as ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). Using the ATP and NADPH produced by the light-dependent reactions, the resulting compounds are then reduced and removed to form further carbohydrates, such as glucose.

The first photosynthetic organisms probably evolved early in the evolutionary history of life and most likely used reducing agents such as hydrogen or hydrogen sulfide, rather than water, as sources of electrons. Cyanobacteria appeared later; the excess oxygen they produced contributed directly to the oxygenation of the Earth, which rendered the evolution of complex life possible. Today, the average rate of energy capture by photosynthesis globally is approximately 130 terawatts, which is about eight times the current power consumption of human civilization. Photosynthetic organisms also convert around 100–115 billion tons (91–104 petagrams) of carbon into biomass per year.

The fact that plants receive some energy from light—in addition to air, soil, and water—was discovered in 1779 by Jan Ingenhousz.

Discuss three contributing factors that lead to a gender-based violence ​
vekshin1

Answer:

The correct answer is -

1) biological and personal factors

2) Gender stereotype

3) lack of education

Explanation:

There are many factors that contribute that lead to gender-based violence. The three most important of such factors include - the illiteracy of the people, gender Biased decisions or stereotypes, and Biological and personal history factors.

1) Biological and personal history factors

The history of violence on their own led them to make violence in order to hurt another gender. Other than that drugs and alcohol can contribute too

2) Gender Stereotypes

Cultural norms that people follow can also dictate how people act against women as it is expected to be passive and submissive.

3) Lack of Education

People with lack or limited education are more prone to make uninformed decisions.
