Explanation:

<u>Three.</u>

Photosynthesis produces glucose and O2 from inorganic CO2, light energy and water.  This occurs in distinct steps: 1) light fixation,  2) electron transport and NADPH production 3)  ATP generation, then 4) carbon fixation and carbohydrate production.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical process, essential to plant and other primary producers producing energy. As oxygen is emitted, energy in the form of glucose molecules is created from light, water, and carbon dioxide. It happens in several complicated stages, photosynthesis is a speed-limited process, depending on several factors including concentration of carbon dioxide, ambient temperature and light intensity; energy is extracted from photons, i.e. light particles, and water is used as a reduction agent. It occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules live like chlorophyll.

Photosynthesis occurs in several complex steps and is a reaction of a small duration, depending on several fa factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II.

Additionally,

  • Water (H2O) divided into H+ and OH-by light during photolysis serves as a source of oxygen along with acting as a reduction agent; it reduces the NADP molecule to NADPH by supplying H+ ions and generates molecules of the energy storage molecule ATP through an electron transport chain.
  • This happens in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules reside like chlorophyll.
  • Later, NADP and NADPH are used in dark reactions during the Calvin cycle, where monosaccharides or sugars such as glucose are produced after several molecules have been modified. These store energy in their bonds which in the mitochondria can be released in respiration.

Gemiola [76]

The correct answer is that ferns have two part in their life cycle: Diploid phase and haploid phase

The life cycle of a fern has two parts: sporophyte stage and gametophyte stage. The gametophyte stage of ferns are haploid which releases gametes and the sporophyte stage are diploid that produces spores. This kind of life cycle is known as the "alternation of generation".

I NEED HELP ASAP!!! 99PTS!
zhannawk [14.2K]

Hey!

The correct answers for the blanks that I can answer (as a third-person answerer) are as follows:

*No, some collisions do not cause reactions due to a lack of energy or ability to properly collide.

*Speed

*A change in temperature of the bicarbonate reaction may lead to a quicker reaction with CO2-producing molecules.

I hope I helped!

Feel free to leave a comment down below if you need any more assistance or if I skipped any sections of the prompt. I will gladly help you with anything! :)
