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.

The scientific name of the sugar maple is Acer saccharum. What does each part of the name designate?
irinina [24]

Answer:Acer represents the genus name while

saccharum represents the species.

Explanation:

In a way to classify organisms, biologists used certain important common features to structure them into groups. The arrangement of living organisms in this hierarchy from the highest level to the lowest is as follows:

Kingdom--> phylum-->class-->order--> Family-->genus--> species.

The largest group of organisms is kingdom while species is the smallest unit of classification.

The common name of the plant used in the question above is sugar maple. Biologist, however, use a standard system to name living organisms. Each kind of organism is given two names, hence the term BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE.

--> The first name is the name of the genus to which the organism belongs.

--> The second name is the name of the species to which it belongs.

Both names are printed in italics with only the genus name having an initial capital letter. Hence, the scientific name of sugar maple is Acer saccharum( in italics).

Which best describes the difference between osmosis and diffusion
Nana76 [90]
Well Osmosis is a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. And Diffusion<span> is the net passive movement of particles (atoms, ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.</span>
