7 0

Answer:

response to stimuli / tropism

Explanation:

The plants and animals always respond to stimuli. It is an innate character of all living things. When a bright light falls on the eye, it closes immediately. This is responding to the stimuli. When someone touches the leaves of touch-me-not plants it closes its leaves due to the external stimuli.

The plants respond to the light. Because it does photosynthesis in the presence of light. Therefore, the leaves and branches of the plants always bend towards the light. This process is called phototropism.

Similarly, the roots of the plants move towards gravity under the ground. This is called geotropism.

Besides phototropism and geotropism, other types of stimuli are there - hydrotropism(response to the water), chemotropism(response to certain chemicals).

That's why the plants growing on the windowsill move towards outside where light comes.

What two compounds are the waste products of cellular respiration? * H2O and CO2 H2O and C6H12O6 CO2 and C6H12O6 ATP and CO2
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The two compounds that correspond to waste products of cellular respiration are H₂O and CO₂.

Explanation:

The cellular metabolic waste products, specifically from cellular respiration are water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), from the oxidation of glucose into energy.

The process of <u>cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and consists of a series of chemical reactions</u> where, from a glucose molecule, energy is obtained in the form of ATP molecules.

Obtaining H₂O and CO₂ from glucose can be summarized with the schematic reaction:

                                 <em>C₆H₁₂O₆  +  6O₂ →  6H₂O  +  6CO₂</em>

This summary indicates that a glucose molecule, when oxidized, produces as waste 6 molecules of water and 6 molecules of carbon dioxide. To reach this process all the reactions of the oxidative phosphorylation occur and 24 molecules of ATP are obtained for each molecule of glucose.

For the other options it is important to mention that:

  • <em><u>C₆H₁₂O₆</u></em><em> is the substrate from which cellular respiration takes place. </em>
  • <em><u>ATP </u></em><em>is the final product of cellular respiration, translated into energy to be used by the cell.</em>

Answer:

One of water's important properties is that it is composed of polar molecules: the hydrogen and oxygen within water molecules (H2O) form polar covalent bonds.
