The photosynthesis equation is as follows: 6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen.

Answer:
d. secondary endosymbiosis.
Explanation:
- When a living cell acquires another organism that eventually becomes a part of this cell, this process is known as primary endosymbiosis.
- When an organism that has already undergone primary endosymbiosis engulfs another eukaryotic organism then this process is known as secondary endosymbiosis.
- Secondary endosymbiosis has been known to occur in plastids because of which they are surrounded by two membranes. This bilayer is present because one of the layers is the original outer membrane of the organism and the other membrane is that of the organism that has been engulfed.
Answer:
Basically, the ecosystem consists of all plants and animals, that interact with each other, and are living in a particular territory. Plants and animals represent the biotic (living) component of the ecosystem, while the soil, minerals, gasses, climate etc. represent abiotic (non- living) part.
Carbon is an essential element for all living beings and it is the main component of both organic and inorganic components.
Now, the question is how does that carbon enter the biotic part of ecosystem from the atmosphere (abiotic part).
In the atmosphere, carbon is mostly found in the form of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Plants are able to use it in this form, and with water and sunlight, through the process of photosynthesis, incorporate it in the organic components, such as sugar and complex carbohydrates. Animals that feed on plants can now ingest these compounds, making it part of their own organisms.
In this way, photosynthesis is the main process by which carbon from the atmosphere enter the biotic part of the ecosystem.
Answer:
When we drink coffee, caffeine binds to our brain's adenosine receptors, preventing the chemical from binding with the receptors and making us tired. For those of us who regularly drink coffee in copious amounts, our brains develop more adenosine receptors, so it takes more coffee to keep us awake.
