The pulmonary veins transport oxygenated blood back to the heart from the lungs, while the pulmonary arteries move deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.)
The appropriate answer is a. the conversion of radiant energy to chemical energy. Plants use light from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose. An important bi-product of this reaction is oxygen which is vital to all life on earth. When humans consume glucose and do work they are converting chemical energy into heat energy and mechanical energy.
Answer:
The stratification of Earth into its geologic layers was brought about by the formation of the Earth's iron core. The iron core was generated by a combination of radioactive decay and gravitation, which raised the temperature enough for molten iron to form.

Answer:
The large intestine
Explanation:
The large intestine is a long, tube-like organ connected to both the small intestine and the anus. In an anatomy drawing, it looks almost as if it is wrapped around the small intestine.
As we can see in the drawing, the organ labelled with 5 is wrapped around another organ which is smaller and looks longer. This smaller organ is the <em>small intestine</em>. Since we know that the large intestine <em>wraps around</em> the small intestine, we can infer that the organ is the large intestine.
Hopefully that was helpful! :)
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.
