Answer:

Light and dark reaction are the two different phases of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is a process of formation of food in green plants and algae using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

Light reaction ( light dependent phase) occurs in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast and is the first phase of photosynthesis.

During this phase,  chlorophyll ( a green pigment in the chloroplast) absorbs energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Photolysis of water takes place in this reaction that produces oxygen as a waste product in the surrounding.

Dark reaction occurs in the stroma. During the dark reaction ( light independent phase) , this chemical energy is used in the formation of carbohydrates ( glucose) as ATP provides energy for this process wheres NADPH is a reducing agent, which gives electrons that are need for CO2 fixation so as to form glucose molecule.

Yuki888 [10]

Oh I know this, It narrows down its characteristics here is an example:

The first step in the key will be organized the following way:

1. a. wings covered by an exoskeleton

b. wings not covered by an exoskeleton

Next, the statements need to lead the observer to the next step to narrow the identification further:

1. a. wings covered by an exoskeleton go to step 2

b. wings not covered by an exoskeleton .go to step 3

Step 2 needs to consist of a pair of statements that will allow for the identification of the ladybug and the grasshopper:

2. a. body has a round shape .ladybug

b<span>. body has an elongated shape .grasshopper</span>

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: Organism in this domain can be defined as living things that has an organized structure, and responds to stimuli, and has ability to reproduce, grow, and maintain a state of equilibrium. Organisms are of two types which are unicellular and multi cellular organisms.

Explanation: unicellular organisms are organisms that are made up of only one cell which carries out all the functions needed by the oragnism. Multicellular organisms are organisms that are made up of more than one cell. These organisms uses many different cells to function.

Unicellular organisms are often found in extreme environments such as hot springs, polar ice and frozen tundra.

Unicellular organisms have cell that contain a nucleus.
