Muscles have their origins (also known as heads) and insertions. Those are places where the muscles are anchored.
A word biceps is made of two Latin words: bi - two and ceps - head. So, biceps is two-headed muscles. It has two origins: coracoid process of the scapula and supraglenoid tubercle.
Similarly, a word triceps is made of three Latin words: tri - three and ceps - head. So, triceps is three-headed muscles. It has three origins: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula, above the radial sulcus, and below the radial sulcus.

a. energy; sunlight

b. hydrogen sulfide (H2S); sunlight

c. sunlight; water

d. sunlight; carbohydrates

e. sunlight; sulfuric acid

Answer:

b. hydrogen sulfide (H2S); sunlight

Explanation:

Some autotrophic organisms do not use the energy of sunlight to fix the inorganic simpler substances such as CO2 into the organic sugars. These organisms perform oxidation of chemical compounds. The energy released from the oxidation of organic or inorganic chemicals is used to fix CO2 into sugars. These organisms are called chemotrophs. Some chemotrophs such as sulfur-oxidizing bacteria use H2S as a source of energy to fix CO2.
