Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food.This process is known as cellular respiration. It is for this reason that mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. Cells that need a lot of energy, like muscle cells, can contain thousands of mitochondria.

Assoli18 [71]
The right answer is the dark reaction would stop happening.
The Calvin cycle (or dark reactions, independent of the sunlight) makes it possible to manufacture glucose, an energy molecule, from carbon dioxide. This is called carbon fixation.There are three reactions of this cycle take place in the stroma of chloroplasts: the first of which is the fixation of carbon dioxide. which is a limiting step in this cycle.If a substance other than the components of the dark reactions absorbs and uses carbon dioxide, the carbon cycle will not be able to occur for lack of one of these ingredients which is the CO2.

Identify the stages of the water cycle in this model
FinnZ [79.3K]
Alright.


So the picture is a little hard to see, so bare with me. 

Evaporation is where the water is coming out of the ocean up into the air. 

I think that is rain happening above the mountain? If so, that is precipitation.

The little river thing coming out of the mountain is runoff.

I cant really see much else on the picture though, so you might need someone else to help you there.
