Answer:

B. Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

First of all, let’s write out the photosynthesis equation to identify the products and reactants.

6CO2 + 6H2O + energy —> C6H12O6 + 6H2O

In a chemical equation with the arrow pointing right, the reactants are on the left and the products on the right.

In photosynthesis, the reactants, carbon dioxide, water, and energy, react to form the products of glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Now, let’s look at the answer choices. We can automatically eliminate choices A (oxygen) and D (sugar) because they are products.

We are left with B (carbon dioxide) and C (water). Water isn’t really considered a major contributor to climate change. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.

Therefore, the best answer choice is B. Carbon dioxide

Personally, it is outrageous. If my ability is just as equal of someone else of a different color or wealthier then me, I should be given an equal chance. The world isn't fair but when it comes to thing like this, it should be. People of lower class can work just as hard as higher class, no one really takes that into consideration.

Based on your own investigation, what challenges do you think scientists face when classifying new organisms?

Alex

They're multiple ways to categorize nearly everything in biology. The value of an individual categorization scheme depends on the perspective of the user. The Classification of organisms is a hard task causes many organisms to have their differences and similarities, whereby making it very complicated in classifying organisms.

What chemicals regulate the cell cycle how do they work?

Molodets [167]

Cyclins are the chemicals that regulate the cell cycle. Cyclins work by regulating the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cell. Cyclins activates cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) (an enzyme that works by adding <span>negatively charged phosphate groups to other molecules in a process called phosphorylation) by binding to it to form a cyclin-Cdk complex. This complex then functions by acting as a signal to the cell to move to the next cell cycle phase. At the end of the event, the cyclin is degraded, Cdk is deactivated, therefore signaling exit from a specific phase.</span>
