Answer:
The correct answer would be Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids.
Photosynthesis can divided into two sub-processes or reactions:
Light-dependent reaction: It converts solar energy into chemical energy that is, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH with the help of photolysisis of water. It takes place in thyllakoid membrane of the chloroplast.
Light-independent reaction: It fixes carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the food or glucose with the help of enzyme RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase).
It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and does not require the involvement of light however, it requires the products (ATP and NADPH) of the light reaction.
Fixation of 1 molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of NADPH.
So, darkness indirectly affects the light-independent reaction.
Answer:
b) and c)
Explanation:
Greenhouse gases are gases found in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation and trap the sun’s heat, thereby producing an effect known as <em>greenhouse effect.</em> By this natural way, the earth is able to be kept warm at an optimal temperature, to make it habitable for humans and other organisms. These gases referred to as <em>greenhouse gases</em> include, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and other trace gases found in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases could be likened to the glass in a greenhouse that helps in trapping heat to keep the greenhouse warm at optimal temperature necessary for plant growth and development.
Without this natural greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, life on earth would be almost impossible as the earth would almost be covered with ice below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
The increased level of greenhouse gases we now find in the earth’s atmosphere is responsible for the additional warming of the earth’s surface, causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which results in global warming.
Statement a) cannot be used as an explanation because it is false. Greenhouse effect makes the earth habitable.
Statement d) cannot be used as an explanation because carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas that matters. Water vapour, CFC and methane also have impacts.
<em>Statement b) and c) are the best statements to use in explaining the true nature of greenhouse effect.

The answer is C: <span>The Neanderthals cared for the wounded and the elderly. The fact that the skeleton showed signs of broken bones that had healed indicated that the individual had been nurtured back to health after injury. The loss of teeth showed that the individual had lived to an old age.</span>
