Which best explains what happens to the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?A They are incorporated into molecu
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

A They are incorporated into molecules of sugar.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the metabolic process whereby sugar molecules are synthesized by plants in the presence of sunlight (light energy). For this process to occur, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are needed as reactants from external sources. Hence, the photosynthetic equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

According to this question, the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide are incorporated into sugar molecule (glucose). It takes 6 carbon atoms to produce one glucose molecule (C6H12O6). This process involves series of reaction in the light-independent stage of photosynthesis to occur.

Radar detectors use radio waves to measure the speed of moving
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

1.7x10^8 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency could be explained as the number of occurrences of a repeating event at a time

Given:

wavelength = 1.8 meters

The frequency f of the waves can be calculated using f = c / λ

Where c (m/s) is the speed of the wave

λ (m) is the wavelength

Speed c= 3*10^8 m/s

Frequency f= 3*10^8 /1.8

Frequency= 1.7x10^8 Hz

Therefore,the frequency of waves from a radar detector is 1.7x10^8 Hz

Ben has a snack with a combination of raisins, chocolate pieces, and nuts. As he eats the snack, Ben picks out all of the raisin
erastova [34]

Answer:

Trail Mix

Explanation:

The best description for the snack that Ben is eating would be Trail Mix. This is a very common snack for hikers, hence the name, since it is very healthy and great for taking on hikes since it does not get affected by the sun. This snack was originally called GORP which stands for "good old raisins and peanuts" because the snack originally contained only raisins and peanuts. It has since changed to include various different ingredients such as a variety of nuts, chocolate pieces, dried fruit, cereal etc.
