Answer:
C
Explanation:
Sugar, which is a product of the photosynthetic process of green plants can be converted to glucose (a simple carbohydrate). Enormous amount of these glucose molecules can be linked together to form a complex carbohydrate called cellulose, which is a polysaccharide because it is made up of a long chain of glucose molecules. The cellulose is ultimately used to build the cell wall of plants.
Anabolism is the production of a complex molecule by a living organism from a much simpler one. Since, cellulose is produced by the building up of glucose molecules, the process can therefore, said to be anabolic
Sunlight
solar energy
water
Answer: Carbon dioxide
Explanation:
The forests and phytoplankton are carbon sinks, which absorbs the green house gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis. The carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water are used as reactant in photosynthesis to yield carbohydrates and oxygen as products. Thus the carbon dioxide level in atmosphere decreases. This is necessary for controlling pollution in the environment and reducing the environmental temperature as carbon dioxide can make the environment warm.
Explanation:
Phototropism- a response to <u>light stimulus</u> that directs the stem to grow toward the light and roots to grow away from it.
ii. Gravitropism- Stems and leaves grow away from the force of <u>gravity</u> while roots grow toward it.
iii.Thigmotropism - growth in response to <u>touch stimulus.</u> The side of the stem in contact with the object grows slower than the side not in contact. This causes the vine to twist around the object.
Answer:
The elements in increasing order of atomic radius: oxygen, carbon, aluminum, potassium
Explanation:
The distance from the center of the nucleus to the outermost shell of the electron is known as the atomic radius of an element. The atomic radius decreases rightward along each period (row) of the table due to the increase in effective nuclear charge (the charge of the nucleus equal to the number of protons). Across a period, electrons are added to the same energy level and the increasing number of protons causes the nucleus to exert more pull on these electrons, which makes the atomic radius smaller. Atomic radius increases down each group (column) of the periodic table because of the addition of electrons to higher energy levels, which are further away from the nucleus and the pull of nucleus weakens. Another reason for the increase in atomic radius is the electron shielding effect, which is the reduction of the attractive force between a nucleus and its outer electrons due to the blocking effect of inner electrons
While moving from left to right in the second period, c
arbon comes before oxygen and so oxygen will have a smaller atomic radius than carbon. While moving down the periodic table, al
uminum comes before potassium even if they are not in the same period. So aluminum
's atomic radius will be smaller than that of potassium but bigger than that of carbon and oxygen.
