Explain how energy from the sun converts water and carbondioxide into food for plant

1 answer:

8 0

Photons of sunlight enter the plant through the leaves and the plant uses this energy in the mesophyll cells (middle cells), more specifically in the chloroplasts, to conduct photosynthesis. The plant transports water and sugars to the plant via the xylem and phloem tubes which allows the plant to grow and thrive. Carbon dioxide is a product made by the cell which is used during glycolysis to make glucose, or sugar, which is food for the plant. The plant also produces oxygen during the process of photosynthesis which diffuses out of the plant into the atmosphere. Water is used in the process as a reactant for most of the reactions that take place. It’s there to help reactions go along and have the correct products.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR BEST AND ACCURATE ANSWER! What are the three parts of a nucleotide?

nasty-shy [4]

The nitrogenous base is the central information carrying part of the nucleotide structure. These molecules, which have different exposed functional groups, have differing abilities to interact with each other.

The second portion of the nucleotide is the sugar. Regardless of the nucleotide, the sugar is always the same. The difference is between DNA and RNA. In DNA, the 5-carbon sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA, the 5-carbon sugar is ribose. This gives genetic molecules their names; the full name of DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, and RNA is ribonucleic acid.

The last part of nucleotide structure, the phosphate group, is probably familiar from another important molecule ATP. Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is the energy molecule that most life on Earth relies upon to store and transfer energy between reactions. ATP contains three phosphate groups, which can store a lot of energy in their bonds. Unlike ATP, the bonds formed within a nucleotide are known as phosphodiester bonds, because they happen between the phosphate group and the sugar molecule.
