Answer:

C3 plants are adapted to moderate temperatures and sunlight. C3 carbon fixation is the process used for most plants. In C3 carbon fixation, carbon dioxide first combines with a 3-carbon compound while in C4 carbon fixation, carbon dioxide first combines with a 4-carbon compound. Plant stomata are open during the day in both types of carbon fixation. In C3 plants, carbon fixation occurs throughout the leaf. The 4-carbon compound made in plants using C4 carbon fixation is used to deliver carbon dioxide to inner cells of the leaf.

Carbon fixation is the process in which plants remove the carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide and turn it into organic molecules like carbohydrates.

Because different type of plants are located in regions with different conditions they are different types of carbon fixation.  Plants that live in arid regions need to conserve water, while plants that live in more moist conditions will not need to conserve water.

The carbon fixation in C3 plants is one-step process. An oxidation reaction occurs because of the enzyme RuBisCo.  During the oxidation some of the energy used in photosynthesis is lost in a process known as photorespiration.

Answer:

C: Yes, it is made up of more than one element with a new set of properties.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a compound because it is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.(How it is formed: two oxygen atoms are covalently(type of chemical bond) bonded to the single carbon atom)

Hope this helps, and have a nice day!!!

Numerical Representation
pychu [463]

Answer: In mathematics, a representation is a very general relationship that expresses similarities (or equivalences) between mathematical objects or structures. The label representation is sometimes also applied to the homomorphism itself (such as group homomorphism in group theory).

Explanation: A bit is a binary number in which 0 is typically used to represent off (or false or positive) and 1 is typically used to represent on (or true or negative). Some sample binary ( base 2) numbers are 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, which represent 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in base 10.
