The Sun is the primary source of energy that drives all the biogeochemical cycles on Earth. Which statement best describes how t

he Sun’s energy powers the water cycle?
1.Plants require energy from the Sun to perform photosynthesis.

2.The Sun's heat reflects off ice sheets near the polar caps, reducing the overall temperature of Earth.

3.Heat from the Sun drives evaporation, turning water on Earth's surface into water vapor.

4.Energy from the Sun provides the warmth necessary for cold-blooded animals to survive.

Answer:

3. Heat from the Sun drives evaporation, turning water on Earth's surface into water vapor.

Explanation:

Water cycle starts with evaporation of water from water bodies which includes transition of water into water vapor by heat of sunlight. The water vapor rises up in the sky and gets condensed to form clouds. This is followed by precipitation and collection of water into the water bodies again through surface run off. Hence, the very first step of water cycle, that is, evaporation is driven by energy from Sun.

What is the primary product of light independent reactions
SOVA2 [1]

The primary products of the light independent reactions  (after one turn of the cycle) are:

a)  two G3P molecules

b)  three ADP

c) two NADP+

However ADP and NADP+ are not really "products". They are regenerated and later used again in the Light-dependent reactions.  Each G3P molecule is composed of three carbons.

For the Calvin cycle (Light independent cycle) to continue, 5 out of  the 6 carbons provided by the two G3P molecules are used to regenerate ribulose 1, 5 phosphate. Therefore there  remains only one carbon for the next turn of the cycle.

One  molecule of glucose requires 6 turns of the cycle. Any extra G3P is used to make starch, sucrose and cellulose.

Copying genetic information from dna into rna is called __________; using the information contained in mrna to make a polypeptid
Ket [755]
Genetic information from DNA to RNA is called transcription which involves the enzyme RNA polymerase. The DNA is read from 3' to 5' in direction and produces an mRNA (messenger RNA) which contains the genetic data from the DNA. This mRNA strand is further processed in the nucleus (capping and adding a poly-A tail) before being transported to the cytoplasm. 

The information contained in mRNA is used to make a polypeptide chain is called translation. This involves the use of ribosomes in the cytoplasm which attach themselves to the mRNA strand then using tRNA (transfer RNA) to add amino acids to the elongating polypeptide depending on the codon in the mRNA.
