Why was water used to dilute the substances instead of another chemical?

Biology
1 answer:
BabaBlast [244]3 years ago
7 0
Water is mostly water molecules so adding water to an acid or base reduces the concentration of ions in the solution. When an acidic solution is diluted with water the concentration of H + ions decreases and the pH of the solution increases towards 7.

Which explanation accurately describes how matter is transformed within the process of photosynthesis?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

D) The hydrogen and oxygen atoms of water are split in the light reactions, and oxygen is released. In the Calvin cycle, hydrogen atoms join with the carbon and oxygen atoms of carbon dioxide to form carbohydrates.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce carbohydrates (sugars) from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and water using the energy of sunlight. The process of photosynthesis occurs in two stages: (i) the light-dependent stage and (ii) the light-independent stage.

Light reactions: In this stage, the hydrogen and oxygen atoms of water are split in the light reactions, and oxygen is released. Also, the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH are produced.

Light-independent reaction or Calvin cycle: in this stage, carbon atoms from CO₂ are incorporated into ribulose-5-phosphate and used to produce glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, a three-carbon sugar using the energy of ATP and NADPH from the light reactions. Essentially, hydrogen atoms join with the carbon and oxygen atoms of carbon dioxide to form carbohydrates.

In what zone is the ability to burrow and sustain changes in temperature and salinity important for an organisms' survival?
Sedbober [7]
The answer is C.
Living organisms that live in the littoral zones in the ocean are used to frequent changes in temperature and in the salinity of the ocean water. For an organism to survive in this environment, it needs to have adaptive features that will increase its survival. The littoral zone is divided into three zones, which are high, middle and lower littoral zones. Organisms living in high littoral zone have adaptive features that make them more adapted to desiccation due to the long hours of sunlight to which they are exposed. The organisms are usually exposed directly to the air or they can be enclosed in burrows.
