Answer:

The answer is A. provides the energy for adding a phosphate to ADP to make ATP.

Explanation:

The ATP synthase is an enzyme located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. It creates a hydrophilic channel across the inner mitochondrial membrane that allows a flux of protons that moves down an electrochemical gradient. These H+ ions are then used as an energy source during the enzymatic reaction that converts ADP + Pi to ATP. This process is called chemiosmois and it’s not unique to cellular respiration, it is also used in photosynthesis and other processes involved in homeostasis. The proton-motive force, as some people refer to the proton gradient was first proposed by Peter Mitchel in the 1960’s as the chemiosmotic theory.

ladessa [460]

The right options are; makes food for all organisms, adds oxygen to the atmosphere, is a source of medicines and fibers, is a source of building materials and it provides animal habitat.

Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and some other autotrophs use light energy in chloroplasts to generate carbohydrates (food) from carbon dioxide and water while oxygen is being released as a by-product. Photosynthesis is essential to all living organisms on earth because it is the main source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Photosynthesis provides animal habitat, it provides food for all organisms (directly for plants and indirectly for animals). Plants and trees produce their foods through photosynthesis and are used as medicines and fibers, and as building materials.

For the History of Classification Quick Check(2021-2022):

Sholpan [36]

In this question we will do a Biological Classification History Check.

<h3>1. Binomial nomenclature</h3>

Binomial nomenclature or binary nomenclature designates the set of rules that regulate the attribution of scientific names to species of living beings.

<h3>2. Domain</h3>

Is based on molecular phylogeny data. According to Woese, there are three domains: Archaea Domain, Bacteria Domain, and Eukarya Domain.

<h3>3. Both focus on illustrating taxonomic relationships between organisms.</h3>

No, binomial nomenclature is for the purpose of assigning names.

<h3>4. domain, kingdom, phylum only.</h3>

No, the classification is more extensive

<h3>5. juglans nigra</h3>

It is a tree that can reach heights between 20 to 50 m. It is still a monoecious, deciduous and aromatic tree.
