Answer:

The part labelled Y is the chloroplast and its main function is to produce food for the plant in the reactions of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Plants are autotrophic organisms in that they are able to manufacture their own food. Plants are able to manufacture their own food due to the presence of the cell organelle known as the chloroplast. The plant chloroplast has its own DNA and can reproduce independently, from the rest of the cell. They can as well produce amino acids and lipids required for the chloroplast membrane.

Chloroplasts are green-colored membrane-bound organelles found within the plant cell. Their green color is due to the presence of the pigment, chlorophyll. Chlorophyll in the chloroplasts are responsible for absorbing light energy from sunlight and using this absorbed energy to make simple sugars (carbohydrates) from carbon (iv) oxide and water. This is the main function of the chloroplasts in plant cells.

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts in two reaction steps:

1. The light reaction - involves the splitting of e=water molecules using the energy of sunlight

2. The dark reactions - carbon (iv) oxide from the air is used to produce sugars.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1. C. no change

2. A. increase

3. E. shift to the right

4. A. increase

5. E. shift to the right

6. A. increase

7. F. cannot be determined

8. B increase

9. D. shift to the left

10 F. cannot be determined

Explanation:

<em>According to Le Chaterlier principle, when a reaction is in equilibrium and one of the constraints that affect reactions is applied, the equilibrium will shift so as annul the effects of the constraints.</em>

From the equation: C(s) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + H2(g),

H is greater than 0, meaning that the system is endothermic, that is energy is absorbed.

1. If the pressure of the system is increased, there would be no change to the system because there are equal number of moles of products and reactants.

2. If H2 concentration is decreased, the equilibrium will shift to the right and more products will be formed. Hence, the concentration of CO will increase.

3. If H2 concentration is decreased, the equilibrium will shift to the right to annul the effects of the decrease in the concentration of a product.

4. If the concentration of H2 is increased, the equilibrium will shift to the left to annul the effects of increased concentration of a product. Hence, more H2O would be formed.

5. If H2 (a product) is removed, and C (a reactant) is added, more of the products will be formed in order to annul the effects of the actions. Hence, equilibrium will shift to the right.

6. If the amount of C (a reactant) is increased, the equilibrium will shift to the right. Hence, more H2 will be formed.

7. The reaction is endothermic, hence an increase in temperature will ordinarily shift the equilibrium to the right. However, the addition of H2 (a product) is supposed to shift the equilibrium to the left. Hence, the effects of simultaneous addition of the two actions become indeterminate.

8. Since the reaction is endothermic, increase in the temperature of the system will shift the equilibrium to the right. Hence, more CO will be formed.

9. If the concentration of H2O (a reactant) is decreased and that of CO (a product) is increased, both actions lead to the equilibrium being shifted to the left.

10. Addition of catalyst to the system will only speed up the rate at which the system reach the equilibrium.

Natali [406]

Explanation:

the experiment conducted is the student adds sugar to a cup of iced tea and a cup of hot tea. She notices that the time needed for the sugar to dissolve in each cup is different. She thinks this has something to do with the temperature of the tea

hypothesis: If the student puts the sugar in both glasses of tea, then the sugar in the hot tea should dissolve quicker.
