The right answer is A. producer.

Phytoplankton are all cyanobacteria and microalgae (microscopic plants) present in surface waters and drifting with the currents. Unknown because invisible to the naked eye, phytoplankton is the lung of our planet. Thanks to photosynthesis, it produces more than half of the Earth's oxygen and consumes half of the carbon dioxide. Phytoplankton is essential for marine life because it is also at the base of the ocean food chain.

The picture shows an organ system in the human body. What do these organs do in the human body?
olga2289 [7]

The organs represented in the image are the Brain, nerve, and spinal cords that monitor and react to changes in the body and its environment.

<h3>What are Organs?</h3>

Organs may be defined as an assemblage of tissues that structurally construct an operational unit specialized to accomplish a distinct operation and functions in the body of a living organism.

The nerves function in sending and receiving signals to the brain from external stimuli. They give the perception of feeling pain, relaxation, stress, etc to the brain according to the situations.

The complete question is as follows:

The picture shows an organ system in the human body.

Brain, Nerve, and spinal cord.

What do these organs do in the human body?

  • They filter pathogens and dead cells out of lymph before it returns to the blood.
  • They monitor and react to changes in the body and its environment.
  • They release hormones that control the activities of cells and organs.
  • They identify and destroy things that are foreign or harmful to the body.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is B, i.e. They monitor and react to changes in the body and its environment.

Describe in words what occurs during the process represented by the photosynthesis equation. Include the importance of sunlight
8_murik_8 [283]

Photosynthesis usually takes place in the leaves. Leaf cells contain many chloroplasts (up to 50 per cell). These organelles contain a green pigment, chlorophyll, capable of capturing light energy. This energy is used to make sugar molecules from water drawn from the soil by the roots and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, captured by the leaves. The sugars produced subsequently distributed in the different parts of the plant.

Here is the reaction of photosynthesis:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy ==> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2

But this balance is in fact broken down into two successive stages:

photochemical reactions (clear phase):

12 H2O + light ==> 6 O2 + chemical energy;

the Calvin cycle (dark phase):

6 CO2 + chemical energy ==> C6H12O6 + 6 H2O.

The first phase of photosynthesis, called clear phase, requires the illumination of the leaf. Chlorophyll, which is embedded in the thylakoid membrane, absorbs light energy. This energy absorption is accompanied by the degradation of water molecules and the release of oxygen.

In a second phase independent of light, called the dark phase, the energy absorbed by chlorophyll is used for the transformation of carbon dioxide molecules into sugar molecules.

The sugars made by photosynthesis are stored in the cell as starch, transformed into other organic molecules, such as proteins, or degraded in the mitochondria during respiration to meet the energy needs of the plant.
