Answer:

Euglena is a single celled organism. It belongs to Kingdom Protista. Euglena is  a eukaryotic organism that exhibit characteristics of both plants and animals. Some species of Euglena are photoautotrophs like plants which means they have ability to trap sunlight to produce food by the process of photosynthesis. Whereas, some species are heterotrophs like animals which means they obtain food by feeding on other organisms.

If scientists remove all of the chloroplasts from a Euglena, it will not be able to perform photosynthesis because chloroplast is an organelle that contains light sensitive pigments named as chlorophyll. Chlorophyll traps light energy from sun. Sunlight energy, along with carbon dioxide and water produces food in the form of glucose in plants and other photoautotrophs.

Nostrana [21]
Osmosis is the diffusion of water. Water tends to diffuse to the area with a higher concentration of solute. (Particles) In this case, Im assuming the fertilizer is the solute because it contains chemicals. Therefore, since water tends to diffuse to higher concentration of solute, the water in the grass will diffuse out to dilute the fertilizer on the surface of the grass. Without water, the grass will be dehydrated and shrivel up and die. Hopefully you find my answer helpful!

Explanation;
ATP contains more energy potential than ADP , since it has three phosphate bonds unlike ADP which has 2 phosphates.
A. is true; During glycolysis ATP is formed, Glycolysis uses 2 ATP molecules and also generates four ATP molecules which gives a net energy of 2 ATP molecules.
C is true, as plant cells generate ATP during cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process in which cells generate energy in form of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria. 
D. is true; ATP is used as a mobile energy carrier molecule by all cells. It used by these cells to fuel all cellular activities.
