Answer:

C. Plants converting sunlight into chemical energy.

Explanation:

An "endothermic reaction" is a process whereby <em>energy coming from the surroundings is being absorbed as heat.</em> This activates the reaction to occur. Since it absorbs the heat to start the reaction, then it can be classified as an endothermic reaction.

When plants convert sunlight into chemical energy, it absorbs the sunlight as a light energy on its chlorophyll. This is where photosynthesis occur. This then results to the chlorophyll reacting with the carbon dioxide, water and the energy which results to the production of <em>oxygen and glucos</em>e.

So, this explains the answer.

A 1451 kg car is traveling at 48.0 km/h. How much kinetic energy does it possess? K.E. =

jarptica [38.1K]

   Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

BUT . . . in order to use this equation just the way it's written,
the speed has to be in meters per second. So we'll have to
make that conversion.

KE = (1/2) · (1,451 kg) · (48 km/hr)² · (1000 m/km)² · (1 hr/3,600 sec)²

   = (725.5) · (48 · 1000 · 1 / 3,600)² (kg) · (km·m·hr / hr·km·sec)²

   = (725.5) · ( 40/3 )² · ( kg·m² / sec²)

   = 128,978 joules (rounded)

The electrons lost from chlorophyll photooxidation are replaced by the oxidation of water. how many electrons are generated from

White raven [17]

There are 2 electrons generated from the oxidation of one water molecule.

<h3>Describe photooxidation.</h3>

The process of a substance interacting with oxygen or losing electrons from chemical species under the influence of light is known as photooxidation. Photooxidation happens in plants when there is environmental stress. It is called photooxidative stress as a result. Reactive oxygen species are produced by the absorption of excess excitation energy in plant tissues. Chloroplasts are harmed by the accumulation of these reactive oxygen species, which is a damaging process in plants. High-intensity light and little $CO_{2}$ are the two conditions that cause this photooxidative stress to occur most frequently. It is a procedure that requires light. Photorespiration in $C_{3}$ plants guards against photooxidation.
