Match each moon or planet to the most accurate characteristic.
Olegator [25]

Each moon or planet matched to the most accurate characteristic;  

1. It contains large amounts of frozen water - C. Europa

2. High levels of carbon dioxide increase the temperature of its atmosphere - B. Venus

3. It does not have enough gravity to have an atmosphere - A. Earth's moon

4. Astronomers believe there is a good chance it contains liquid water - D. Mars

Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. Others are Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. An outer layer of water, about 100 km (62 mi) thick, covered the surface of Europa. A part of the outer layer (crust) is said to be frozen, while the other part is a liquid ocean below the ice.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the hottest planet in the solar system. The atmosphere of Venus is dense, and it is composed mainly of carbon dioxide (roughly 96.5 percent), which traps heat and causes a greenhouse effect.

What is the function of NADPH and ATP in the Calvin cycle?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The correct option is A. They provide the energy required to build high-energy sugars.

Explanation:

Calvin cycle can be described as the series of dark reactions of the process of photosynthesis.

During the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is reduced to glucose. The molecules of NADPH and ATP play an active role in this reaction to occur. The molecules of ATP serve as a source of energy. Whereas, the molecules of NADPH serve as a reducing agent. Electrons are added by NADPH so that carbon dioxide gets converted into glucose.

State the function of nitrogen fixation
Verizon [17]

Plants need nitrogen in order to grow. Nitrogen is abundant in the earth's atmosphere, but plants cannot use it in that particular form (nitrogen gas). Certain bacteria which reside on some plant roots are able to change atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use (ammonia).
