Explanation:

<u>in the stroma</u>

Photosynthesis produces glucose and O2 from inorganic CO2, light energy and water.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

Occuring in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II.

Additionally,

water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions and produces molecules of the energy storage molecule ATP through an electron transport chain.
This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.
Later, in dark reactions, NADP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules in the stroma. These store energy in their bonds, which can be released in respiration in the mitochondria.

3. Name two structural differences you can see between the fungi on slides<br>

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

A fungal cell is an eukaryote with all intracellular, membrane bound organelles. A bacterial cell is basically a prokaryote with a nucleoid. The cell wall composition also varies. It is a lipopolysaccharide layer called peptidoglycan layer in bacteria whereas cell wall of a fungal cell contains complex polysaccharides called chitin and glucans. Bacteria are either autotrophic or heterotrophic whereas fungi are strictly heterotrophic. Bacteria reproduces asexually by binary fission whereas fungi can reproduce either by sexual or by asexual method. Dormant form of fungal cell are called conidiospore or basidiospore or zoospore or ascospore based on their location in hyphae and type of reproduction. In bacteria, dormant forms are called endospores.

Meiosis allows more mutations and change than Mitosis. Meiosis can transfer if 1 person is immune to a very dangerous disease than they can provide more people with Immunity by providing offspring

Before scientists learned how to make artificial fertilizers, what key process limited the amount of nitrates available to plant

zavuch27 [327]

I believe rottening would be the answer. Rotting, dead plants and animal feaces make great fertilizers.

Which statement describes Redi's experiment, which helped disprove spontaneous generation?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

He examined covered and uncovered meat to determine that maggots came from eggs.

Explanation:

Prior to Redi's experiment and other supporting experiments, it was formerly believed that life could emanate from non-living things, for example, the generation of maggots from rotting meat.

In 1668, a scientist called Francesco Redi disproved the idea of spontaneous generation. He did this when he experimented that the maggots from meats are only as a result of eggs laid by flies when they perched on the meat.

He placed the meat in two jars; an uncovered jar and another in a covered jar with a cloth, after several days, the uncovered jar had maggots on the meat, while the covered jar had no maggot on the meat, but on the cloth. With this experiment, he was able to demonstrate that the maggot arose from the eggs of the flies, not the meat itself which is nonliving and hence, disproved the idea of spontaneous generation.
