1 answer:

6 0

There are 2 stages in photosynthesis
light stage and dark stage
light stage takes placein the grana because there's presence of chlorophyll. 2 reactions take place here.
1. photolysis of water where water molecules are split into hydrogen ions and oxygen gas in presence of chlorophyll and oxygen gas. the oxygen gas is released into the atmosphere but hydrogen ions are used in dark stage.
2. formation of adenosine triphosphate which is formed by combination of adenosine diphosphate and an inorganic phosphate in presence of light. this adenosine triphosphate is also used in dark stage
dark stage is a light independent stage which takes place in the stroma. energy is provided by adenosine triphosphate formed in the light stage. this stage involves tge combination of carbon(iv)oxide and hydrogen ions to form a simple carbohydrate and a water molecule. this process is known as carbon(iv)oxide fixation which is the reduction of carbon(iv)oxideby hydrogen ions using adenosine triphosphate energy to form a simple carbohydrate.
This simple carbohydrate is changed to glucose for use in the plant or to starch for storage

A desirable intake of dietary fiber is _____ grams daily, according to the american dietetic association.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

A desirable intake of dietary fiber is 20-35 grams daily, according to the American Dietetic Association.

Explanation:

Dietary fiber has always been a part of a healthy, balanced eating lifestyle. Fiber has 2 types, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber is a gelatin-like substance when combined with water and when ingested, can help slow the travel of food in the gut, making you feel "full." Insoluble fiber or roughage is the bulk-forming type. It holds water in its structure, helping regulate the bowel movements.

Fiber, being a complex carbohydrate, can help lessen the risk of an increase of bad cholesterol and blood sugar. Examples of fiber-rich foods are whole grain products, barley, oats, grapes, etc.

What is present in the soil that makes nitrogen directly available to plants?

lubasha [3.4K]

In order for plants to assimilate nitrogen directly into their system, the nitrogen must be in the form of nitrates. Nitrogen in the air and ammonia from decayed matter in the soil is converted to ammonium by decomposers and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The ammonium is further nitrified to nitrates by nitrifying bacteria. Finally, the nitrates can then absorbed by the plants.
