If plants need oxygen for cellular respiration, then why do plants release oxygen into the atmosphere? A. More oxygen is produce

d during photosynthesis than the plant needs for cellular respiration, so the plant needs to release the extra oxygen.
B. Plants need to collect more oxygen from the atmosphere because photosynthesis does not produce enough oxygen to meet their needs.
C. Plants need to release oxygen into the atmosphere so more carbon dioxide can enter the plant for photosynthesis.
D. Plants release oxygen into the atmosphere because the release of oxygen prevents the evaporation.

The correct answer is option A

A plant cell performs both the processes, cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the environment and cellular respiration requires oxygen.

The oxygen produced by the plants during the process of photosynthesis is much more than the amount of oxygen required for the cellular respiration.

So, the oxygen that is left after the process of cellular respiration is released into the environment.

How many glucose molecules would be produced if 24 carbon dioxide and 24 water molecules were used in photosynthesis
almond37 [142]
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants make their own food using light energy from sunlight in the leaves of the plants. The equation of photosynthesis states that the combination of carbon dioxide, water, and light energy produces a carbohydrate (glucose) and oxygen.
6CO2 + 6H2O +light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2. 
From the equation, six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water produces one molecule of glucose.
Therefore, 24 molecules of carbon dioxide and 24 molecules of water would produce or yield 4 molecules of glucose.

What is the main way that active transport differs from diffusion?
Ostrovityanka [42]

As powerful as diffusion is, cells sometimes must move materials in the opposite direction—against a concentration difference. This is accomplished by a process known as active transport. As its name implies, active transport requires energy.
