<span>When a plant takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and receives adequate sunlight and water, chloroplasts in the plant's cells convert the reactants, water and carbon dioxide, into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is stored in the tissue of the plant for food and energy. In essence, this is the process of photosynthesis. Glucose is often stored in plants in the form of starch, which is composed of glucose molecules linked in long chains.

Hope this helps :)</span>

ioda

Answer:

The correct answer is option A-"They release energy".

Explanation:

The phenomenon of radioactive decay, also known as radioactivity or nuclear radiation, occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus emits radiation and loses energy and mass in the process. The elements during radioactive decay release energy and mass trying to reach a stable form. The material that has the unstable nucleus is considered radioactive.

Summation that results from the cumulative effect of multiple synapses at multiple places on the neuron is designated impulse tr

kap26 [50]

Answer:

spatial summation

Explanation:

The phenomenon which decides whether an action potential will be generated or not based on the cumulative effect of various excitatory and inhibitory signals that act on the neuron is called summation.
Summation is of two types- temporal and spatial.
When multiple presynaptic cells are acting o a neuron then the phenomenon of spatial summation occurs.
The spatial summation leads to the addition of various signals acting at different places of the neurons, i.e there is the addition of signals occurring at various areas of input.
If the signals are excitatory they will add up and would contribute to the generation fo action potential and if they are inhibitory they would try to suppress the firing of action potential
