In photosynthesis, redox reactions ultimately transfer electrons from ______ to ______.
german

The correct answer is: D) H2O… CO2

Redox reactions are reactions of reduction (molecules tend to gain electrons) and oxidation (molecules tend to lose electrons).

Photosynthesis is a set of redox reactions. In photosynthesis electrons are removed from water (H2O) to carbon dioxide CO2 and then used to turn CO2 into organic compounds.  

The first step: Oxygen in water is oxidized (light energy required)

The second step: Carbon in CO2 is reduced; sugar is formed (dark reaction).

What poses a great threat to the entire human species;poisonous abiotic factors or poisonous biotic factors?
jolli1 [7]
Well, biotic factors are living things in an ecosystem such as animals or insects. Abiotic factors are non living things in an ecosystem such as sunlight or temperature. I would say biotic factors would be more harmful since this includes bacteria or other diseases, not many abiotic factors would pose a great threat to the entire human species. Hope this helped.
