A potted geranium sits in a windowsill absorbing sunlight. How does a root cell (which is not exposed to light) obtain energy to

do cellular work such as active transport across its membrane?
options:

ATP is made in the leaves via photosynthesis and moved to the root.


Sugar is made in the leaves via photosynthesis and moved to the root.


The root cell makes ATP by cellular respiration using material absorbed from the soil.


The root cell makes sugar using the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Sugar is made in the leaves via photosynthesis and moved to the root.

Sugars made in the leaves via photosynthesis are stored elsewhere and transported to the root system. They are then available for respiration and oxidative phosphorylation which do not require light energy. The

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen (from the light reaction) is released.

 

Further Explanation:

Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes glucose along with oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’s cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis). Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain and the energy they release is used in pumping H+ to produce ATP from ATP synthase. At the end of the ETC molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water.

I NEED HELP WITH ALL QUESTOONS PLEASE
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

3) B

4) A

5) B

Explanation:

3) Sun heats up the air of a particular region due to which the air heated rises up ( as hot air is lighter than cool air ). When the hot sir rises , the cool air from other region comes there & like this wind blow.

4) A toaster uses electricity to produce heat in order to toast bread  So here the electric energy is converted to thermal energy.

5) Windmills , Hydroelectricity dams & Ethanol plants have turbines & turbines do have a generator which is to be rotated . When the generator is rotated , electricity is generated.

A construction company wants to trap pollutants in runoff at its sites. What should the company do?
Katena32 [7]

Answer: Plant grass and lay straw at the sites.

Explanation:

Runoff is a flow over of water or any other liquid over a surface causing erosion. The flow of water is of high speed and rapid. It is not absorbed by the soil.

Plant grass and lay straw at the sites is the correct option this is because of the fact that the grass and lay straw will absorb the runoff water and prevent the erosion.
