Answer:

18 molecules of $CO_{2}$

Explanation:

In heterotrophic nutrition, organisms ingest or absorb food made by autotrophs to obtain energy. Planta and other photosynthesizing organisms make sugars via photosynthesis, in a form of (partly) light-dependent biosynthesis.

In mitochondria, they break down sugars through aerobic respiration. For the sugar glucose, this results in the production of carbon dioxide and water along with energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

glucose+ oxygen → carbon dioxide+ water+ energy

For 3 molecules of glucose, multiply the number of reactants and products...

(C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP ) x 3

Thus...

3 C6H12O6+ 18 O2 → 18 CO2 + 18 H2O + ≅114 ATP

Plants in areas with short growing seasons often have more chloroplasts in their cells than plants in areas with longer growing

B: make and store food more quickly. As the plants grown in the shorter season have less time to grow and feed from the soil they must make and store their own food at a higher rate than plants in the longer season.

Which best describes one way a large body of water such as an ocean influences climate? A. Rushing water from tides cools the la

mojhsa [17]

The correct option is C.

An ocean is a very important abiotic factor in any environment and it have impacts on the climate of the environments where it is found. The ocean currents are driven by the global wind system, which is powered by the energy of the sun. These currents transfer heat to the polar regions from the tropics and brings about the cooling of their environment, thus giving rise to cool climate.

The abundance and variety of fossils in Phanerozoic rocks have allowed geologists to decipher in considerable detail the past 600 million years or so of the Earth’s history. In Precambrian rocks, however, fossils are rare; thus, the geologic record of this important part of the Earth’s history has been especially difficult to decipher. Nonetheless, stratigraphy and radiometric dating of Precambrian rocks have clearly demonstrated that the history of the Earth extends billions of years into the past.
