Which of the following is true about plants and cellular energy

Biology

B.

Plants use light energy to produce food molecules during photosynthesis and obtain cellular energy from the bonds of these food molecules during cellular respiration.

The chlorophyll pigment in plants harnesses light energy to ‘manufacture’ glucose/carbohydrates which are later used by the plant for cellular respiration to power cell activities.

Explanation:

The energy from sunlight is used by the chlorophyll pigments to make ATPs through a process called photophosphorylation. In addition, the light energy is used to split  water molecules into H⁺  and O²⁻. The H⁺ is then captured by NADP+ which is reduced to NADPH, while O²⁻ is evolved as oxygen. This occurs in the light stage of photosynthesis.

The NADPH is used to reduce carbon dioxide into glucose in the dark stage (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis. Remember since this is an anabolic process ATPs (the one created through photophosphorylation) are used to power this cycle.

Excess glucose can be converted to starch and stored. Otherwise, the energy captured in the chemical bonds of the glucose are again utilized to make ATPs in cellular respiration.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Given what we know, we can say that In skeletal muscles, fast oxidative (intermediate) fibers are characterized as type ll-A, and they typically produce ATP through aerobic cellular respiration.

<h3>What are fast oxidative fibers?</h3>

These are a type of muscle fibers that can be trained. This means that they usually do not occur naturally but through continued muscle training by the individual. They are also referred to as enhanced fast-twitch muscle fibers. They are aerobic meaning that they require oxygen to undergo cellular respiration.

Therefore, we can confirm that fast oxidative (intermediate) fibers are characterized as type ll-A, and they typically produce ATP through aerobic cellular respiration.

What are the products of photosynthesis?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product.

What is one reason why many geologists did not at first accept the theory of continental drift?
Ivan

The first reason was that his theory of continental drift was just too weak for most geologists to accept. Even though he believed the supercontinent that broke up into different continents moved, he did not have a clear explanation to how the continents moved. The other reason is that some of his explanation clashed with ideas that were widely accepted in the science communities. He used similar fossils from different continents to back up his theory of continental drift. However, at that time, many scientists that had observed similarities in fossils in places like South America and Africa believed there were similar fossils in different continents because of a land bridge that were formed by two continents.


Many science communities believe that land bridges allowed migration of many different species and even people to one place to another by large bodies of water frozen by low temperature known as ice age.
