Answer:
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water, "light", and sunthesis, "putting together". In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, most algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.
Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centres that contain green chlorophyll pigments. In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. In these light-dependent reactions, some energy is used to strip electrons from suitable substances, such as water, producing oxygen gas. The hydrogen freed by the splitting of water is used in the creation of two further compounds that serve as short-term stores of energy, enabling its transfer to drive other reactions: these compounds are reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Answer:
The excretory system helps the respiratory system by removing carbon dioxide that is produced during respiration (third option).
Explanation:
The lungs are in charge of the breathing process, being the main organ of the respiratory system. Each lung is considered an excretory organ —belonging to the excretory system— since it is capable of eliminating the carbon dioxide (CO₂) produced by the metabolism during expiration.
As a result of the gaseous exchange, the oxygen entering the lungs through the inhaled air passes into the blood, while the CO₂ is removed from the blood. This CO₂ is removed during expiration, which makes the lungs part of the excretory system.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em>The excretory system does </em><u><em>not introduce more oxygen into the lungs</em></u><em>.
</em>
- <em>The </em><u><em>circulation of blood in and out of the lungs</em></u><em> is a function of the circulatory system.
</em>
- <u><em>Urine is not produced by breathing</em></u><em>.</em>
