During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose
I. Each carbon atom can form single bonds with up to four other carbon atoms. II. Each carbon atom can form double bonds with up to two other carbon atoms. III. Carbon atoms can join together to form chains or rings. IV. A single molecule of some compounds can contain thousands of carbon atoms.
Answer:
All the given choices
Explanation:
Carbon is a very interesting element which is the backbone of most organic compounds.
Organic compounds are made up of carbon. Carbon forms a wide range of compound due to the following properties;
- An atom of carbon has 4 valence electrons and can bond with 4 other carbon.
- Carbon can form single, double and triple covalent bonds.
- They can join together to form rings or chains.
Answer:
Ability to perform locomotion with their legs
Explanation:
Plants and animals are two distinct species of organisms. Plants are capable of using photosynthesis to obtain their food due to the unique structures that can capture light energy in their cells (autotrophic). Animals, on the other hand, are heterotrophic i.e. cannot perform photosynthesis and therefore, rely on other organisms for food.
Since animals depends on eating other organisms to obtain food/energy, their possession of LEGS or ability to LOCOMOTE is very instrumental to their success as non-photosynthetic or heterotrophic organisms. This enables them leave one position in search for food and resources
The use of reforestation to control erosion in the mountains.
