STEP ONE: Harvesting Radiant Energy
The first step of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Light photons are absorbed by a pigment called chlorophyll, which is abundant in the thylakoid membrane of each chloroplast. Chlorophyll appears green to the eye because it does not absorb green waves on the light spectrum. It reflects them instead, so that’s the color you see.
STAGE 2: Converting Radiant Energy
After radiant energy from sunlight is absorbed, the plant converts light energy into a usable form of chemical energy to fuel the plant’s cells
STAGE 3: Storing Radiant Energy
The last stage of the photosynthesis process is known as the Calvin-Benson cycle, in which the plant uses atmospheric carbon dioxide and water from soil to convert ATP and NADPH. The chemical reactions that make up the Calvin-Benson cycle occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.
Answer:
Exponential Growth: y = a(1 + r)x
Exponential Decay: y = a(1 - r)x
Explanation:
Remember that the original exponential formula was y = abx.
You will notice that in these new growth and decay functions,
the b value (growth factor) has been replaced either by (1 + r) or by (1 - r).
The growth "rate" (r) is determined as b = 1 + r.
The decay "rate" (r) is determined as b = 1 - r

Climate is best described as C. THE LONG-TERM AVERAGE OF WEATHER VARIATIONS IN A SPECIFIC AREA.
The long term average being 30 years. These weather variations are affected by the temperature, precipitation, and wind.
Climate determinants include latitude, altitude, proximity to mountains and oceans, proportion of land to water, thermohaline circulation of the ocean, ocean currents, density and type of vegetation present in an area, as well as the areas' water retention and rainfall.
Climate are classified into three groups. These are Bergeron and Spatial Synoptic, Koppen, and Thornthwaite.
