Answer:
B.
Explanation:
The two reactions shown in the attached image depicts the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is the process whereby autotrophic organisms use CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water) in the presence of sunlight to make glucose (C6H12O6). The equation is as follows:
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2
On the contrary is the process of cellular respiration, which involves the breakdown of glucose (sugar) in order to release energy (ATP). The equation is as follows:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
According to this question, the option B which says that "Sugar is broken down to release energy" is CORRECT.
Answer:
Option (2) At equilibrium, there is a much higher concentration of products than reactants.
Explanation:
The equilibrium constant for a reaction is simply the ratio of the concentration products raised to their mole ratio divided by the concentration of the reactants raised to their mole ratio.
If the equilibrium constant is close to 1 or 1, it means the concentration of the reactants and products are almost the same. But if the equilibrium constant is large as in the case of the question given above, it means that at equilibrium, the concentration of the products are higher than that of the reactants.
