Mature elephants consume an average of 600 pounds of food per day. If an elephant

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$

Explanation:

1. Calculate the adult life

If the elephant is an adult from its 10th birthday until the day before its 56th birthday, its

Adult life = 55 - 10 + 1 = 46 yr

2. Convert years to days

$\text{Adult life} = \text{46 yr} \times \dfrac{\text{365.25 da}}{\text{1 yr}} = \text{16 800 da}$

3. Convert days to pounds of feed

$\text{Feed} = \text{16 800 da} \times \dfrac{\text{600 lb}}{\text{1 da}} = 1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb}$

4. Convert pounds to kilograms and megagrams

$\text{Feed} =1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.20 lb}} =\textbf{4 600 000 kg} = \textbf{4600 Mg}\\\\\text{The elephant will eat $\large \boxed{\textbf{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$ of food.}$

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for age of the elephant.

Explain in your own words the process using the following key words: carbon-di-oxide, water, sugar, oxygen, thylakoid, chloropla

Answer:

The Photosynthesis process

Explanation:

Plants, algae, and some other organisms can transform the sunlight energy into chemical energy. The photosynthesis process occur thanks to the chloroplasts. The chloroplast is an organelle found in all green plants. Inside of the chloroplast you can find the thylakoids which are arranged in stacks named grana, they have membranes with chloropyll a photosynthetic pigment, also you can find the photosystems, they are functional and structural units of protein complexes. The thylakoids capture the light and allow the reactions to transform CO2. The set of reactions that occurs in the chloroplasts are known as the Calvin cycle.

The general equation of photosynthesis is:

$6 CO_{2} + 6 H_{2} O + Energy -> C_{6} H_{12} 12O_{6} + 6 O_{2}$

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Carbon Dioxide + water + Light -> Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen

After, this glucose is transformed into pyruvate, and it allowed the release of denosine triphosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. The ATP is an organic chemical that is requires for the cell to perform any process (any kind or work).
