In the process of photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and light energy to produce a sugar (C6H12O6) an

d oxygen (O2). In the process of aerobic respiration, animals and plants release energy from sugar and oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and water. The chemical equations that describe these reactions look like this:
6CO2 + 6H2O + light C6H12O6 + 6O2 C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy


How do these equations explain why the total amount of O2 and CO2 remains the same?

Answer:

During photosynthesis, to form 1 molecule of glucose, 6 molecules of CO2 is needed to be used as a reactant. 6 molecules of O2 is released as a by-product.

However, during aerobic respiration, to hydrolyse 1 molecule of glucose, you will need 6 molecules of O2 as a reactant, releasing 6 molecules of CO2 as by-product.

Essentially, the total amount of CO2 and O2 remains the same assuming the rate of aerobic respiration is the same as the rate of photosynthesis, resulting in no net gain or loss of both CO2 and O2 in the atmosphere.

What is the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere with the following
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.4\ \frac{1}{m}

Explanation:

Let

x ----> the surface area of a sphere

y ---> the volume of a sphere

we know that

The ratio of surface area to volume of a sphere is equal to divide the surface area by the volume of the sphere

\frac{x}{y}

we have

x=588\ m^2\\y=1,372\ m^3

substitute the values

\frac{588}{1,372}=0.4\ \frac{1}{m}

Fast glycolytic muscle fibers ______. are abundant in muscles of the lower limbs, contract quickly, and are oxygen-dependent are
Nitella [24]
Fast-glycolytic muscle fibers are another name for Type IIb skeletal muscle fibers and are white in color. The skeletal muscle fibers are divided into three types: Slow-contracting muscle fiber (Type I), Fast-contracting muscle fiber (Type IIa) and Fast-contracting muscle fiber (Type IIb).

Fast-glycolytic muscle fibers Type IIb are abundant in muscles of the lower limbs that contract quickly and are oxygen dependent, prevalant in postural muscle of the back, generate lots of power and depend on lots of power and depend on anaerobic pathways to make ATP , have fewer but larger myofilaments and numerous mitochondria, have abundant myoglobin.

In what ways do humans affect the different trophic levels in ecosystems on Earth?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Our results contrast with research conducted in protected areas that suggested human effects in the food web are primarily predator-mediated. Instead, human influence on vegetation may strengthen bottom-up predominance and weaken top-down trophic cascades in ecosystems.
