Answer:

Photosynthetic process

Explanation:

Cellulose, a tough, fibrous and water-insoluble polysaccharide in the cell walls of plants. It is the most abundant organic macromolecule on Earth and also the main component of a plants structure, conferring rigidity on the plants' cells.

Cellulose chains are arranged in microfibrils or bundles of polysaccharides arranged in fibrils which in turn make up the plant cell wall.

All plants are made up of polysaccharides, a very large sugar molecule made of hundreds or thousands of single sugar units (monosaccharide). Cellulose is composed of a long chain of at least 500 glucose molecules joined together by B-1,4- linkages.

Green plants create this simple sugar molecules (glucose) on their own through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the chemical combination or fixation of C02 and water by the utilization of energy from the absorption of visible light. This glucose produced is a building carbohydrate that combines with other sugars to form the plant structure (as they make up part of cellulose) and store energy.

Photosynthesis 
Is where glucose is produced, and glucose is known as a monosaccharide (simple sugar) and makes up a carbohydrate.

How do the two species that make up a lichen benefit from their symbiotic association? (Select all that apply.)
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

the correct answers are C and D: "<em>Both partners are able to grow on substrates on which each would not be able to grow on their own</em>", and "<em>The fungi receive carbohydrates and, in some cases nitrogen, from the algae, while the algae gain a "home" that anchors them on the substrate</em>".

Explanation:

Lichens are the result of a symbiotic association between algae and a fungus. These two organisms must cooperate to survive in places under certain inhospitable conditions, where otherwise, they would not be able to survive by themselves. Algaes are the photosynthetic organisms that provide carbohydrates to fungus. These last ones, get the carbon and energy they need to grow, and in exchange, they protect the algae from dehydration and radiation, and they might also provide minerals for their survival. Algae can also get a way to get attached to the substrate. When instead of regular algae, there is a prokaryotic cyanobacterium, these can also supply with fix nitrogen to fungus, in the form of nitrogenous compounds.

Soil nutrients are important to photosynthesis because they ?
alexdok [17]
Because they provide the needed compounds that are necessary for the process of photosynthesis to undego. Photosynthesis is the normal function among plants which create and synthesize sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into glucose and needed materials for cell processes. The ongoing process is needed and unique for every autotrophs because these mechanism is vital for every living organism to survive.
