Explain how respiration and photosynthesis are chemically opposite from each other

1 answer:

7 0

They are chemically opposite in that the reactants of one are the products of the other. One could not exist without the other to supply the materials.

You can look up the reactants and products in any Biology textbook. also In Photosynthesis carbon dioxide and energy is consumed to give sugar and Oxygen. 
while in Respiration oxygen and sugar is consumed to give energy and carbon dioxide is produced. 

Hence the two are opposite of each other. 

Now, since you need oxygen to respire there must be a constant supply of oxygen and plants are the source of oxygen since they produce oxygen due to photosynthesis, similarly plants need oxygen to do photosynthesis which is produced by respiration. 

Hence they both are dependent on each other HOPE IT HELP ;D

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.

A marble, a bowling ball, a basketball, and a baseball are rolling across the floor at 1.0 m/s. Which one has the greatest kinet

sveticcg [70]

Answer: A Bowling Ball

Explanation:

A body possess kinetic energy due to virtue of its motion. It depends on the mass of the body and the speed with which it is travelling.

K.E = 0.5 mv²

K.E. ∝ m

It is given that the marble, bowling ball, basketball and baseball all are rolling with the same speed. This means that the greatest energy would be possessed by the body having greatest mass.

On an average the mass of a marble is about 50 g, mass of a bowling ball is 750 g, mass of baseball is 150 g and mass of basketball is 600 g. Since the mass of a Bowling ball is the greatest, it would possess the greatest kinetic energy.
