Not, Viruses are not considered "alive" because they lack many of the properties that scientists associate with living organisms. Primarily, they lack the ability to reproduce without the aid of a host cell, and don't use the typical cell- division approach to replication.

I dont think viruses should be classified as a living organism because they arent made up of cells, they dont grow, and they dont make their own energy.

After photosynthesis, energy that the coral can use is stored in

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Energy is stored in glucose molecules C6H12O6

Explanation:

Producers make sugars stored as monomers bonded together to form polysaccharides, long chain hydrocarbon molecules as a result of the process of photosynthesis. These molecules, like the monosaccharide glucose, store converted solar energy as stable chemical energy in covalent bonds. In covalent bonding, the elements share electrons with each other.

These high-energy bonds are stable and not easily destabilized or broken. The energy is retrieved the the process of respiration in the mitochondria.

Glucose is broken down, while energy is transferred to bonds between ADP and inorganic phosphate, to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Eg. for aerobic respiration...

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

glucose+ oxygen → carbon dioxide+ water+ energy
