Plants are a producer among organims, namely they produce their own energy. To this point, they need light; the energy of the sun is necessary for photosynthesis to happen and photosynthesis is the pathway that plants use in order to transform carbon dioxide and water into energy-rich organic compounds. Usually, these compounds can be used in place of fossil fuels. For example, condensed sugar cane extract has been an alternative form of fuel in Brazil and other developing countries. Furthermore, chlorophyll is the light-receptor in plants; understanding how chlorophyll absorbs light could help us set up more efficient light panels that transform the solar energy into electric energy. Then, the study of mitochondria could help us devise optimal ways to utilize this energy. Mitochondria are the energy factories of our cells and their adaptations could inspire more effective and innovative energy plants in the world.
Coal and natural gas are examples of A) nonrenewable resources. Those are resources that cannot be used again and again and can run out if their supply runs out.
. The main structural differences between plant and animal cells are the additional structures found in plant cells. These structures include: chloroplasts, the cell wall, and vacuoles. In animal cells, the mitochondria produces the majority of the cells energy from food.
The bones of the skull are highly irregular. Most of the bones of the skull are held together by firm, immovable fibrous joints called sutures or synarthroses. These joints allow the developing skull to grow both pre- and postnatally.
