Describe in words what occurs during the process represented by the photosynthesis equation. Include the importance of sunlight

Biology

Answer:

Carbon dioxide and water are combined in a series of reactions.

Sunlight provides energy for the reactions.

The end result of photosynthesis is the production of sugars (glucose, a food) and oxygen (a gas).

The energy from sunlight is stored in the glucose.

Photosynthesis usually takes place in the leaves. Leaf cells contain many chloroplasts (up to 50 per cell). These organelles contain a green pigment, chlorophyll, capable of capturing light energy. This energy is used to make sugar molecules from water drawn from the soil by the roots and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, captured by the leaves. The sugars produced subsequently distributed in the different parts of the plant.

Here is the reaction of photosynthesis:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy ==> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2

But this balance is in fact broken down into two successive stages:

photochemical reactions (clear phase):

12 H2O + light ==> 6 O2 + chemical energy;

the Calvin cycle (dark phase):

6 CO2 + chemical energy ==> C6H12O6 + 6 H2O.

The first phase of photosynthesis, called clear phase, requires the illumination of the leaf. Chlorophyll, which is embedded in the thylakoid membrane, absorbs light energy. This energy absorption is accompanied by the degradation of water molecules and the release of oxygen.

In a second phase independent of light, called the dark phase, the energy absorbed by chlorophyll is used for the transformation of carbon dioxide molecules into sugar molecules.

The sugars made by photosynthesis are stored in the cell as starch, transformed into other organic molecules, such as proteins, or degraded in the mitochondria during respiration to meet the energy needs of the plant.

What are new stars that are found in the spiral arms and formed from recycled dead star material known as?
Arada [10]

Answer:

population I stars.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star can be defined as the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w). Also, the apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second. The apparent brightness of a star is typically measured in watts per square meter.

Some of the examples of stars are; Canopus, Sun (closest to the Earth), Betelgeus, Antares, Vega etc.

New stars that are found in the spiral arms and formed from recycled dead star material are known as population I stars. Also, it comprises of association and clusters formed a million or billion years ago in the spiral arms of Milky Way galaxy.

A galaxy can be defined as a collection or group of many billions of stars and other planetary body which are existing independently.

(04.01 LC) Which of these is made up of cells and tissues that perform a larger function? (5 points) Atom Compound Molecule Orga
Grace [21]

Answer:Organ

Explanation:An organ may be defined as a group of tissues which perform similar functions. Organs can be found in both plants and animals,functionally related organs often cooperate to form systems. These organs are interdependent on each other to make up organ systems. Organ systems can be found in the different parts of the body. For instance,the esophagus,stomach and liver make up the digestive system and in the excretory system the skin and kidney are examples of the organs that can be found here. The main tissues of an organ tend to have the same embryological origin. This simply means that they arise from the same germ layer and by germ layer we mean the primary layer of cells that form during embryonic development. In plants however,the main organs are the roots,stem and leaves whose primary functions are to give nourishment to the plant. Reproductive organs of plants include the seed,flowers and spores which maintain the basic life processes of the plant.
