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.

What part of a tree conducts electricity when hit by lightning?​
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

In most trees, the area just under the bark layer contains moisture in the form of sap and water. And since water is a better electrical conductor than wood, lightning striking a tree tends to travel just underneath the bark.

Acetylcholine receptors on skeletal muscles are described as being ionotropic receptors because
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

they are Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ion channels.

Explanation:

Ionotropic acetylcholine receptors are also called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors because beside acetylcholine (Ch) they respond to nicotine. These receptors are  primary receptors in muscle for motor nerve-muscle communication that controls muscle contraction.

Two molecules of ACh are required for receptor to open. Since the receptors are  linked to ion channels, the channels open. Opening of the channel allows positively charged ions to move across it: sodium enters the cell and potassium exits.
