The continual input of energy, mostly from sunlight, sustains the process of life. Sunlight allows plants, algae and cyanobacteria to use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds like carbohydrates. This process is the fundamental source of organic material in the biosphere. There are a few exceptions to this, such as ecosystems living around hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, which derive their energy from the chemical compounds such as methane and hydrogen sulfide. In either case, the overall productivity of an ecosystem is controlled by the total energy available.
The electrons passing through the electron transport chain gradually lose energy, High-energy electrons donated to the chain by either NADH or FADH2 complete the chain, as low-energy electrons reduce oxygen molecules and form water. ... The end products of the electron transport chain are water and ATP.
Phloem is the food conducting tissue that has a two-way flow.
Explanation:
Plants prepare food on their own and plants also have conductive cells that carry out transportation process. Plants are divided into two types based on their conductive system i.) vascular plants ii.) non vascular plants.
Vascular plants are those plants which have special conductive cells called phloem and xylem.
Xylem transports water from roots of the plants to other parts of plants and also provides mechanical support to plant. It is uni-directional.
Phloem is the food conducting tissue that transports food to plant and also have bi-directional movement.
