Which of the following explains the role of plants in the carbon cycle?*

Biology
1 answer:
Dovator [93]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Plants transfer carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to carbohydrates in the biosphere.

Explanation:

Plants are unique organisms being that they have the unique ability to manufacture their own food via the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Hence, they are called AUTOTROPHIC. Photosynthesis is the metabolic process by which plant cells make sugar (glucose) in the presence of sunlight.

However, in the photosynthetic process, plants require inorganic source of carbon called CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and water to perform the process. The chemical overall reaction of photosynthesis is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

This explains the role of plants in the carbon cycle as they help transfer carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere to carbohydrates in the biosphere (living organisms).

The energy animals need for their life functions is released when their cells carry out which of the following functions
Vlad [161]

Cellular respiration

Explanation:

The energy animals need for their life functions are released when their cells carry out cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a metabolic process by which living organisms breaks down organic molecules using oxygen  especially glucose to produce energy and gives off carbon dioxide and water in the process.

It is the reverse of photosynthesis.

During this process, chemical energy stored in food substances are released and converted to heat energy.

The process takes place in the mitochondria of a cell.

Why does the mass of a substance remain the same after a chemical reaction
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Even in a chemical reaction when atoms interact and create new products, mass is conserved. This is because the new substances created are composed of atoms that were present in the reactants. The atoms from the reactants come apart, rearrange, and re-bond in a different arrangement to form the products.
