The ''x'' in the word equation for photosynthesis is ATP

<u>Explanation:</u>

$6 CO_2 + 12 H_2O + photons \rightarrow C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 + 6 H_2O.$

Oxygen + glucose carbon dioxide + water + x

A chemical reaction happens in this photosynthesis where the atom arrangements are changed to different arrangement to form a new substance. When during the time of photosynthesis, the energy from the Sun is stored in the form of chemical energy.

Here the X is ATP, the Adenosine triphosphate which provides energy for the plants. ATP releases small amount of energy through hydrolysis.

The Mesozoic Era is marked by dramatic evolutionary activity. What factor best set the stage for the dramatic development of ins

Reptile [31]

Answer:

The era is characterized by having one of the most diverse environment that the earth could have ever seen, as there were number of species of dinosaurs and there were different plant life as well, and the climate was not so cold to live for the different organisms.
As, the life on earth flourish even there were organisms found on large scale inside the arctic circle.While, the level of CO₂ increased inside the Mesozoic era. Along , with which the extinction of about 96 percent of life made it very difficult for the rest of the organisms to survive and thus there were now mutations happening inside the different organisms genome.Along, with that the way of reproduction was greatly changed inside the plants, as more effective form of flowering plants were evolved.
As, for the animals new species with the increase level of survival instinct were evolved from old simple ones across the globe.
