Answer:

The product of one process is the reactant of the other and vice versa.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process whereby autotrophs e.g. plants make their own food in form of organic molecule (glucose) by combining the carbondioxide (CO2) they absorb via their stomata and water (H2O) using the energy they obtain from sunlight.

Photosynthesis uses C02 and H2O as starting materials and produce glucose and 02 as products.

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

On the other hand, organisms including this photosynthetic organisms need energy for their life processes. They obtain this energy by breaking down energy-containing organic molecules (glucose) to produce energy usable by their cells (ATP). This process is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION. Cellular respiration can occur in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) or absence of oxygen (anaerobic). The aerobic cellular respiration is depicted as follows:

C6H12O6 + 602 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Aerobic cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen as a starting material and produces C02 and water as products.

Due to this connection between photosynthesis and respiration, they are regarded as direct opposite of each other.

What is shown in the imagine <br> prokaryote<br> eukaryote<br> chloroplast<br> mitochondrion
m_a_m_a [10]

"Prokaryote" is shown in the given image.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

A prokaryote is a single-cell organism which is deficient in a membranous nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membranous organs. Prokaryotes are categorized into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. At the third domain: Eukaryota, species with nuclei and organelles are located.

The asexual prokaryotes reproduce without fusion of gametes. They are considered as first living organisms. In the prokaryotes components like proteins, DNA and metabolites, overall the intra-cellular water-soluble components are enclosed by the cell membrane as situated together in the cytoplasm, rather than in separate cellular compartments.

How does conservation affect biodiversity
FinnZ [79.3K]
Conservation is the protection of an organism or a group of organisms (like an endangered species or forests).

Biodiversity is the numerous amounts of species habitated in our earth. The more biodiversity, the better.

Conservation protects biodiveristy, thus, allowing more species to survive and thrive.

How do living things store their energy ?
Andrei [34K]
For most organism (animals and humans) glucogen is stored in the liver. Glycogen in basically a bundle of glucose. This is like storing energy as the glucogen can be changed back into glucose by a hormone by Glucagon. It breaks down the insoluble glycogen into glucose that can be used in respiration which creates energy.
Respiraton
Glucose+ Oxygen = Water + Carbon Dioxide + ENERGY
