What would happen to the light independent reactions if you put a plant in a dark closet for many days?

Answer:

It would store energy

Explanation:

After the energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy and temporarily stored in ATP and NADPH molecules, the cell has the fuel needed to build carbohydrate molecules for long-term energy storage. The products of the light-dependent reactions, ATP and NADPH, have lifespans in the range of millionths of seconds, whereas the products of the light-independent reactions (carbohydrates and other forms of reduced carbon) can survive for hundreds of millions of years. The carbohydrate molecules made will have a backbone of carbon atoms. Where does the carbon come from? It comes from carbon dioxide, the gas that is a waste product of respiration in microbes, fungi, plants, and animals.

In plants, carbon dioxide (CO2) enters the leaves through stomata, where it diffuses over short distances through intercellular spaces until it reaches the mesophyll cells. Once in the mesophyll cells, CO2 diffuses into the stroma of the chloroplast—the site of light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. These reactions actually have several names associated with them. Another term, the Calvin cycle, is named for the man who discovered it, and because these reactions function as a cycle. Others call it the Calvin-Benson cycle to include the name of another scientist involved in its discovery. The most outdated name is dark reactions, because light is not directly required (Figure 1). However, the term dark reaction can be misleading because it implies incorrectly that the reaction only occurs at night or is independent of light, which is why most scientists and instructors no longer use it.

If cobalt moved down a period what would it be?
yKpoI14uk [10]
Recall that a period is horizontal, and a group is vertical. 

So if cobalt is moving "down" a period, it would be most logical to say that it would be Ni, or nickel. It could also be Copper, Zinc, Gallium, and so on. Make sense?

Which two statements summarize a way that an other-feeder gets food?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

B. Sphagnum moss takes in energy from sunlight.

D. Euglenas carry out photosynthesis.

Explanation:

According to the question, "a self-feeder" means an autotrophic organism i.e. an organism that produces or obtains food by itself. The process by which an autotrophic organism obtains food is referred to as PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis entails the synthesis of food in form of organic compounds in the presence of sunlight.

Based on this, Euglenas, which is a plant-like protist, carrying out photosynthesis and Sphagnum moss, which is a lower plant (bryophyte) taking in energy from sunlight in order to perform photosynthesis are two examples that describes a "self-feeder"
