It's main function is to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell. The mitochondria take fuel (glucose) and essentially burns it. The energy given off by oxidizing the fuel is harnessed by causing ions to move across a membrane, kind of like pumping water. The ions then flow down through a protein which synthesizes ATP much like the water then flows down through a dam to generate electricity.
Sunlight is the source of energy because producers such as grass and trees use photosynthesis to make energy from sunlight. Grass and trees are then eaten by animals like cows, chickens, and pigs. The animal takes in the energy it receives from the foliage, and humans in turn, receive energy from eating the livestock.
Answer:
Transpiration:
Losing the water absorbed by the plant through its aerial parts in the form of water vapor to the atmosphere. Water is absorbed by roots from the soil and transported as a liquid to the leaves via the xylem to mesophyll cells, through intercellular spaces, and moving through substomatal space to the stoma. The leaves and aerial parts have small pores that allow water to moves as a vapor.
Advantages:
With the transpiration exchange of gases also takes place.
Excess amount of water removed from the plant body.
Absorbing water and distribution of water among plant body parts
Cooling the exposed aerial parts of the plant to the sun and warm winds.
The osmotic balance of the plant cell is regulated by the process of transpiration.
The logical sequence in order to loss of water due to transpiration is as follows:
xylem, mesophyll cells, intercellular spaces, substomatal space, stoma.
Some of the characteristics are that living things reproduce they use energy and that they grow
