Explanation:
1. Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to make their food.
2. Carbon Dioxide and water are the raw material for photosynthesis.
3. This is a trick question because nitrogen is part of oxygen, so the answer is definitely oxygen.
Hope this helps! :)
Nitrogen Cycle steps:
N molecules breaking apart via nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Animals ingest nitrogen in nitrate-containing food after plants use nitrogen-containing compounds.
The organic matter decays via decomposers
N2 is formed via denitrifying bacteria.
Explanation:
The nitrogen-fixing bacteria removes atmospheric nitrogen by fixing nitrogen through nitrification. The atmospheric nitrogen cannot be absorbed by plants and hence has to be converted into nitrates. This conversion takes place by nitrifying bacteria present in leguminous plants.
Animals (herbivores) consume the plants that have absorbed nitrogen/
When these animals die, decomposing bacteria acts on the dead organic matter, decomposition takes place through ammonification, converting the organic nitrates into ammonia
The nitrates are converted back again to nitrogen by the action of denitrifying bacteria.
The nitrogen thus formed is released to the atmosphere
Vitamin D plays a vital role in the regulation of calcium deposits and maintenance of the phosphorous levels in the blood which are two elements that are significantly important for maintaining healthy bones.
The human body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium in the intestines and to recover calcium that would otherwise be excreted through the kidneys. It also essential for the development and strengthening of bones and it blocks the release of parathyroid hormones.
The answer would be letter E. None of the above
Answer:
B. Carbon dioxide
Explanation:
First of all, let’s write out the photosynthesis equation to identify the products and reactants.
6CO2 + 6H2O + energy —> C6H12O6 + 6H2O
In a chemical equation with the arrow pointing right, the reactants are on the left and the products on the right.
In photosynthesis, the reactants, carbon dioxide, water, and energy, react to form the products of glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
Now, let’s look at the answer choices. We can automatically eliminate choices A (oxygen) and D (sugar) because they are products.
We are left with B (carbon dioxide) and C (water). Water isn’t really considered a major contributor to climate change. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.
Therefore, the best answer choice is B. Carbon dioxide
