Answer:

D. DDT

Explanation:

DDT is highly persistent in the environment means that it break down very slowly in the environment. The half-life for DDT is from 2 to 15 years. Half-life is the time needed for the degradation of half of the compound. Persistent bio-accumulative toxic substances (PBTs) are chemicals that break down slowly in the environment and its accumulation in living organisms are toxic. Some PBTs are dispersed through air currents while some uses other environmental pathways, resulting in contamination of regions far from their points of origin.

Choose all of the ways that cellular respiration is different from photosynthesis. Select the 4 correct answers. *
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

It uses glucose as a reactant.

It uses oxygen as a reactant.

It makes ATP.

It happens in the mitochondria.

Explanation:

It occurs in cells.  - this is false. Both cellular respiration and photosynthesis occur in cells.

It uses glucose as a reactant.  - this is true. Cellular respiration uses glucose as a reactant, it is broken down to release energy. Photosynthesis produces glucose.

It uses oxygen as a reactant.  - this is true. Cellular respiration uses oxygen as a reactant. In contrast, photosynthesis releases oxygen as a byproduct

It makes ATP. - this is true. Cellular respiration makes ATP. Photosynthesis uses energy to produce the sugar which is used in cellular respiration to synthesise ATP.

It happens in the chloroplasts.  - this is false. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, not cellular respiration

It happens in the mitochondria.  - this is true. Respiration occurs in the mitochondria, whereas photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts.

It involves oxygen, glucose, carbon dioxide, and water. - this is false, Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration involve oxygen, glucose, carbon dioxide, and water. Photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose using carbon dioxide and water. Respiration produces glucose and carbon dioxide using water and carbon dioxide.
