Answer:

Explanation:

Equation of photosynthesis:

6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) --> C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g)

From the above equation, on the RHS, The oxygen during photosynthesis comes from split water molecules. During photosynthesis, the plant absorbs water and carbon dioxide. After the absorption, the water molecules are disassembled or broken down to extract electrons and protons in the presence of ultraviolet light and converted into simple sugar and oxygen.

Equation of the water breakdown:

2H2O --> O2 + 4H+

Answer:

End product of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process that plants undergo in the manufacture of their food. This is done in the presence of sunlight which is trapped by their coloring pigment called chlorophyll and reactants such as Carbon dioxide and Water.

6CO2+6H2O= C6H12O6+ 6O2

The oxygen gas which is a waste product of photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere and used by animals in respiration.

If an organism starts from only one cell,how do we get different body parts and organs

Vladimir [108]

Every cell has chromosomes in its nucleus. In a human cell,
there are 26 of them. AND ... lined up on every chromosome
are thousands and thousands of GENES. Those carry the
instructions for what kind of organ or bone or tissue or hair
this cell will be used to build, how the structure will work, how
tall you will be, what color your eyes will be, how deep your
voice will be, and what illnesses you will have.

Every cell has the complete set of instructions in it. In the past
several years, we have just started to be able to read them, and
extraordinary progress has been made. There's an awful long way
still left to go.

In Figure 10-1, if the force exerted on a 3.0-kg backpack that is initally at rest is 20.0 N and the distance it acts over is 0.

pshichka [43]

I'm going to assume this is over a horizontal distance. You know from Newton's Laws that F=ma --> a = F/m. You also know from your equations of linear motion that v^2=v0^2+2ad. Combining these two equations gives you v^2=v0^2+2(F/m)d. We can plug in the given values to get v^2=0^2+2(20/3)0.25. Solving for v we get v=1.82 m/s!

TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

$I=I_0 cos^2\theta$
