Biology

By definition, photosynthesis is a metabolic process carried out by certain cells of autotrophic organisms, that is, those that have the capacity to make their own food, such as plants.

With this process, plants capture the energy of sunlight and transform it into chemical energy, to produce organic matter.

Photosynthesis takes place in 2 stages:

  • In the first stage the plants absorb water from the soil through the roots. Through their stems they transport it to their leaves. In these it meets the sunlight captured by chlorophyll, which breaks the water molecule, separating hydrogen (H) from oxygen (O₂).
  • The other stage is capturing carbon dioxide. This provides the carbon and oxygen atoms that, together with hydrogen and stored energy, will form the glucose molecule, from which compounds are produced that are the basis of food for plants and other living beings.

Then, sunlight, carbon dioxide and water are needed for the photosyntesis, while oxygen is released to the environment.

Based on thomsons plum pudding model of the atom what did rutherford expect to happen
charle [14.2K]

Rutherford reasoned that if Thomson's model was correct then the mass of the atom was spread out throughout the atom. Rutherford was forced to discard the Plum Pudding model and reasoned that the only way the alpha particles could be deflected backwards was if most of the mass in an atom was concentrated in a nucleus.

A researcher recorded that a chemical reaction required 2.90 gal water and raised the temperature of the reaction vessel by 57 F
Bess [88]

<em>A. 11.0 L is the researcher's volume measurement to the SL units of liter</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given that a researcher recorded that the chemical reaction has water = 2.90 gallon.

We have to convert the researcher's volume into the SL units of liter.

<em>So, we know that 1 gallon = 3.875 liters</em>.

Then we have to convert 2.90 gallons of water in to liters.

Then  , volume in L =(volume\ in \ gal) \times  (3.875 L/1 gal)                                   = (2.90) \times (3.875L/1 gal)                                  

= 11.0L

<em>Then the required volume in L= 11.0L</em>
