During the process of photosynthesis, the plant use energy from the sun to synthesize nutrients from water and carbon dioxide. Thus, the process of energy transformation occurred when light from the sun is converted into chemical form of energy known as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). In plant cell, ATP and NADPH is used to assemble carbon dioxide molecules and other carbon chain into glucose which then linked together to form cellulose used by the plant to grow new stems and leaves. However, cellular respiration is the process where the body converts the energy stored in food into form of energy that body can use.

In conclusion, during the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled out from the atmosphere while carbon dioxide is released into the environment during the process of cellular respiration.

What special characteristic of the respiratory membrane facilitates gas exchange?

svp [43]

Special characteristic of the respiratory membrane is very thin diffusion membrane.
The respiratory membrane allows gases to be exchanged-oxygen goes in and carbon-dioxide goes out from the body. That process is called diffusion and follows the laws of partial pressure (movement of a gases from a high to a low concentration).

Which one of the following is a difference between a normal cell and a cancer cell?

mixas84 [53]

For the first question, i think the correct answer is A. Normal cells undergo apoptosis while cancer cells don't. For the second question, The answer is option B. Cell division has two checkpoints namely, G1 checkpoint and spindle assembly checkpoint. The checkpoint which determines if division has properly occurred is the G1 checkpoint. At this point, is a damage in the DNA is detected or the has not reach the optimum size, the cell is stopped in G1 and is not allowed to proceed to further process.
