Answer:

Carbon fixation during photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process through which plants synthesise carbohydrates using light energy from the sun. The overall equation is

CO2 + H20 + (energy) → glucose + oxygen

Photosynthesis can be split into two stages: The light-dependent reactions, and the light-independent reactions. Carbon fixation (sometimes called the Calvin cycle) is part of the light independent reactions

During carbon fixation, carbon dioxide is incorporated into a 5 carbon sugar called RuBP. This immediately forms two molecules of 3-PGA, which is converted into G3P. Some of the G3P is used to synthesise sugars, and the rest is used to regenerate RuBP.

Answer:

Carbon fixation

Explanation:

In this reaction, carbon dioxide reacts with hydrogen ions formed during the light stage to form glucose.This is a complex process involving several enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The process requires energy which is provided by the ATP formed during the light reactions.

Explain how energy flows and matter cycles through trophic levels

kvv77 [185]

I HOPE that 1, 2, or 3 helps you!! :)

Answer:

1. The cycle of energy is based on the flow of energy through different trophic levels in an ecosystem. ... If large predators are present, they represent still higher trophic level and they feed on carnivores to get energy. Thus, the different plants and animal species are linked to one another through food chains.

Explanation:

2. When organisms use organic matter for cellular respiration, ALL the matter goes back into carbon dioxide, water, and minerals, while ALL the energy leaves the ecosystem as heat (which is ultimately radiated out into space). So matter cycles, energy flows through ecosystems.

3. The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

Answer:

C) neurons - nerve tissue - brain - central nervous system - human being

Explanation:

This is due to the neurons being the smallest part so they have less inside, while the human body is composed of so many things inside making studying it complex.
