Well plant cells have both chloroplasts and mitochondria, and what happens is photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast (they produce their own food to eat for energy (sugar/glucose). The outcome of photosynthesis is glucose and oxygen which then goes to the mitochondria (where the process of cellular respiration takes place) which takes in the glucose and oxygen and turns that into carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy. Where the plant goes through the process of making the food first before going through the process of turning into energy, animals just have the mitochondria, so they consume foods for the sugars needed and the mitochondria do the same work they did in the plant, just minus the photosynthesis.

In the United States, which direction does a continental polar air mass that forms over Canada usually move and why?

goldfiish [28.3K]

In the United States the direction the continental polar air mass move South toward the Gulf of Mexico to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Air masses are large bodies of air moving horizontally in a very uniform way. Continental polar air mass is an air mass that forms near the poles. It originates in northern Canada and Alaska and move south then East.

The continental polar masses are the causes for the severe cold weather in the South during the cold months. Maritime tropical mass are warm and have high moisture content. During winter it comes in contact with the continental polar mass hence getting stabilized.
