What percent of the sunlight is actually converted into chemical energy via photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants and few organisms use sunlight to synthesize their food from carbon di- oxide and water. In plants, during photosynthesis, green pigment known as chlorophyll is involved and oxygen is generated at a by product.

All the sunlight falling on plant is not absorbed. Only half of the falling light which lies in the right frequency to power photosynthesis is absorbed. Out of this falling light, only 8 % to 11% is absorbed by the plant and only 3 % to 6 % is actually used to form chemical energy.

Which shows the most direct path that carbon can take through the carbon cycle?
olasank [31]

Answer:

Atmosphere, plant, animals, fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Carbon Is the essential elements needed for life.

Carbon cycle is the movement of carbon from the atmosphere to the Earth.

Carbon move in the carbon cycle and start from the atmosphere.

In the atmosphere, carbon react with oxygen and it is inform of carbon dioxide. Plants use the carbondioxide along with water,and uses light energy from the sun to produce carbohydrates through a process of photosynthesis.

Animals get carbon from plants after consuming plants.

During respiration, carbon atoms are released to the atmosphere.

Some human activities like burning of fossil fuels releases carbon to the atmosphere.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

2.glucose move into chamber B faster than fructose

Explanation:  

  • Facilitated diffusion: refers to the transport of hydrophilic molecules that are not able to freely cross the membrane. Channel protein and many carrier proteins are in charge of this <u>passive transport</u>. If uncharged molecules need to be carried <u>this process depends on concentration gradients</u> and molecules are transported from a higher concentration side to a lower concentration side. If ions need to be transported this process depends on an electrochemical gradient. The glucose is an example of a hydrophilic protein that gets into the cell by facilitated diffusion.  Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process because the cell does not need any energy to make it happen.  

The exposed scenario is an example of facilitated diffusion, a process that occurs in favor of the concentration gradient, and which rate depends on the concentration of molecules in each side of the membrane, in this case, glucose and fructose, among other factors that might also influence the diffusion rate. So, as the concentration of glucose is higher in chamber A (80%), and lower in chamber B (20%), in comparison with fructose, the first one will diffuse faster than fructose. The difference in concentration between both chambers is sharper in glucose, so its transport is faster than the fructose transport, which will also diffuse but at a lower rate.

Which plate boundaries and movements most commonly create earthquakes? Explain how earthquakes can be created by plate tectonics
Bad White [126]
Unique or damaging plate edges cause volcanoes. As the more thick plate subducts, it will dissolve at profundity and the water is driven off, will bring down the liquefying purpose of the overlying mantle wedge, this will make a kind of magma. Volcanic Island Arcs are framed at maritime dangerous plate edges. The hot, light magma, is less thick that the encompassing rock so will ascend to the surface, and will gather underneath the plate that hasn't been subducted. It will then, under expanded weight eject under the ocean. More than thousands of a great many years, it will continue emitting, to shape islands.
