Answer:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy => 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Start with the skeleton equation:

CO₂ + H₂O + light energy => O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

If you forget, think about what a plant needs to survive: water and air, except they use our "waste" air, carbon dioxide. Trees make oxygen, as do other plants. Plants make their own food, glucose.

Count the number of atoms in the skeleton equation

CO₂ + H₂O + light => O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Reactants                                       Products

C 1                                                    C 6

H 2                                                   H 12

O 3                                                   O 8

It is obvious we need to add a few coefficients to the reactant side because there are significantly fewer atoms. This becomes more of a trial and error process. Remember to keep track of the atoms each time you change coefficients.

I would start by making the carbon and hydrogen atoms even.

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light => O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Reactants                                       Products

C 6                                                    C 6

H 12                                                   H 12

O 18                                                   O 8

Now there are not enough oxygen atoms in the products. Change the coefficient in the diatomic O2 instead of glucose because the other elements are balanced.

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light=> 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Reactants                                       Products

C 6                                                    C 6

H 12                                                   H 12

O 18                                                   O 18

Since the number of each atom in the reactants and products are even, the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy => 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

This is the change in behavioral or feeding patterns by two or more competing populations to reduce interspecific competition.
algol13
Nice shift is the change in behavioral or feeding patterns by two or more competing populations to reduce interspecific competition. Interspecific competition is a type of competition between organisms of different species. A niche is a full range of physical and biological conditions in which an organism lives and the way in which the organism uses those conditions.

Considering the experimental design, which claim is best supported using the data?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

C low competition for glucose

Explanation:

From the given answer choices and information,

It cannot be A since there is no visual disease or any indication of disease in the experiment

Cannot be B, since space would not be an issue since it clearly hit 111 on day 3

and cannot be D since there is no indication of a change in temperature.

However, we know Petri Dishes have nutrients to stimulate cell growth, and those resources are not unlimited therefore we can only attest that a large portion of the nutrients have been consumed and starved some of the cells thus causing a population decrease
