Answer:
During photosynthesis SOLAR enerrgy is transformed into CHEMICAL energy.
Explanation:
In nutrition, green plants manufactures their own food which they use for both energy and growth. This is called an autotrophic mode of nutrition.
Therefore, photosynthesis is an autotrophic nutrition in which plant can build sugar by taking carbon dioxide from air and water from the soil. For the synthesis of sugar like glucose, carbon dioxide provides carbon
and oxygen whereas water molecules provide hydrogen. The plant builds sugar molecules from these simple compounds. Enzymes needed for this purpose are present in the cells and energy is trapped by chlorophyll from sunlight. This process is summarised in the equation below:
Sunlight (solar)
6CO2 + 6H2O--------------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
From the equation, Carbon dioxide, water and sunlight (SOLAR energy) is the raw materials needed to produce Glucose and oxygen (CHEMICAL energy) as by products.
The correct answer would be equation 4, because there are 4 Hydrogens and 2 Oxygens on each side of the equation making it balanced.
Answer: (3) molecules have different molecular structures.
Explanation:
1) Oxygen (O₂) and ozone (O₃) are allotropes of each other.
2) Allotropes are different structural forms of a same element with different structures and properties, when they are in the same state: solid, liquid, gas.
3) The bonds is what define the structure and properties of the substances, so since O₂ has only two bonds and O₃ has three bonds, the properties and behaviors of the element are different.
4) Other example of allotropes are graphite and diamond: two different forms of carbon. Both, graphite and diamond are formed only by carbon atoms, but they are bonded differently so, as you know, diamond and graphite have different properties: graphite is very soft while diamond is one of the hardest known substances.
