Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.

Vikentia [17]

Muscles and human skeleton are very much connected with each other.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Muscles form one of the 5 systems of our body. They consists of both the skeletal muscles as well as the smooth muscles of our body. While the smooth muscles are the part of the organs, the skeletal muscles are attached with bones either directly attached, or they are attached with the bones by means of tendons. These muscles are formed of cells called sarcomeres and they are the structures which make the bones move. Bones ars like the rods and muscles are like hydraulics. So they are collectively called as musculoskeletal system.

Skeletal system is referred to as the collection of each and every bones of our body which is roughly 206 bones, and their organization in body helping us to stand and move.

The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs is an example of what?
nignag [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Passive transport

Explanation:

During the respiration process exchange of gases takes place between lungs and blood. This gas exchange is carried by simple diffusion which is a passive transport. Here gas molecule moves from area of higher concentration to the lower concentration area.

The lung's alveoli are surrounded by blood capillaries in which the concentration of CO2 is high while in alveoli concentration or partial pressure of CO2 is low so CO2 moves from blood to alveoli through diffusion.

In the case of oxygen, the concentration of oxygen is high in alveoli and less in blood inside blood capillaries so oxygen moves from alveoli to blood by diffusion. So the right answer is C.

name and describe the two types of food making found among autotrophs and give an example of each. Which is quantitatively more
Sidana [21]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Autotrophs are organisms that have the capacity to manufacture their foods from freely available inorganic products. There are two types of autotrophs

1. The photosynthetic autotrophs: these are green plants and blue-green algae that possess chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is used to trap radiation from the sun in the presence of water and carbon dioxide to manufacture carbohydrates which serve as their primary foods.

6CO_2 + 6H_2O + sunlight --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2

2. The chemosynthetic autotrophs: these are usually bacteria that make use of energy from inorganic chemicals (such as hydrogen sulphide, iron sulphide, etc) to reduce carbon dioxide and produce carbohydrates in the process.

CO_2 + 4H_2S + O_2 -> CH_2O + 4S + 3H_2O

<u>Photosynthesis is quantitatively more important to life on earth because green plants form the base of several food chains.</u> The energy locked in the carbohydrate produced during photosynthesis is important for other lives in the ecosystem and this is passed on through the various levels in the food chain. Also, the by-product of photosynthesis, the oxygen, is important for the survival of most life on earth who depends on oxygen for respiration. Chemosynthesis only occur in habitats where the radiant energy of the sun is lacking, such as hydrothermal vents.
