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.

Echinoderms _____. _____ Select one: a. have an exoskeleton of hard calcareous plates b. often use tube feet to move around in t

atroni [7]

Answer:

B. often use tube feet to move around in their environment

Explanation:

Tube feet are tiny tubular projections of echinoderms on the underside (oral side). They are a member of the echinoderm water vascular system.

Tubular feet are used for feeding, breathing and shifting. They are arranged around the sides, in grooves. They work by hydraulic pressure. They are used to transfer food in the centre to the oral mouth, and may stick to surfaces. Tube feet allow certain animals to stick and travel slowly to the ocean floor. for example starfish uses tube feet for the above functions.

Hence, the correct option is B.
