Answer:

32 million Americans are exposed to toxic chemicals in the workplace regularly. CERTAIN HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE MAJOR CAUSES OF BIRTH DEFECTS. When these workers use harmful chemicals, those toxins can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled or ingested by the mother or the father before or during pregnancy. That can affect the parents’ ability to have healthy children. They may have issues having children or may have children with birth defects. These types of chemicals that cause birth defects are known as teratogen and/or genotoxins. A teratogen is an agent that interferes with the development of an embryo or fetus and causes birth defects. A genotoxin is an agent that damages cellular DNA resulting in mutations. Chemicals can be both a teratogen and a genotoxin. Industries with workers who are most at risk of being exposed to toxic chemicals include high-tech manufacturing and semiconductor manufacturing, agricultural and farming, and energy production workers in coal, fracking, and oil and gas. These laborers are commonly exposed to toxins in chemicals, solvents, and pesticides and heavy metals — all chemicals known to cause birth defects.

Drag and drop the terms into the correct locations to describe how the relationship between photosynthetic organisms and animals
g100num [7]

Answer:

Photosynthetic bacteria must take in <u>Carbon Dioxide</u> to live, and they release <u>Oxygen </u> . Animals must take <u>Oxygen </u> to live, and they release <u>Carbon Dioxide.</u>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy →   glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture  by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Photosynthetic bacteria perform same function as plants.  These bacteria contain light harvesting pigments absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

While animals take oxygen and release carbon dioxide to live. This respiration process is opposite to the photosynthesis.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
