During photosynthesis and cellular respiration, energy is

37 answers

During photosynthesis, energy is absorbed from the Sun and converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

During cellular respiration, the chemical energy stored in glucose is released and converted into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the primary energy currency of cells. This process takes place in the mitochondria of cells from both plants and animals.

Overall, energy is transformed and transferred between different forms during both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Imagine you are conducting a lab investigation with a plant that grows in water. You get aquarium water and a few sprigs of the plant from an aquarium shop. You put the container with the plant and the water in bright light and observe it for a week. At first, you see bubbles forming. What must those bubbles be?

The process that you have been observing is photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into chemical energy and produce oxygen gas as a byproduct.
After a while, you notice the bubbles are no longer forming. You ask your teacher how to make the plant start producing bubbles again, and she tells you to blow through the straw into the water. Why did she suggest that?(1 point)
Responses

Blowing through the straw removes carbon dioxide from the water.
Blowing through the straw removes carbon dioxide from the water.

Blowing through the straw removes glucose from the water.
Blowing through the straw removes glucose from the water.

Blowing through the straw adds more carbon dioxide to the water.

Blowing through the straw adds glucose to the water.

Blowing through the straw removes oxygen from the water.
She suggested blowing through the straw into the water in order to add more carbon dioxide to the water. This is because carbon dioxide is one of the reactants needed for photosynthesis to occur. By adding more carbon dioxide, it can help stimulate the plant to start producing bubbles again as it carries out photosynthesis.

Identify the organisms as producers or consumers.

(2 points)
producer primary consumer secondary consumer tertiary consumer
To determine whether an organism is a producer or consumer, we need more specific information about the organisms in question. In general:

- Producers: Organisms that can produce their own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, typically using sunlight or chemicals as their energy source. Examples include plants, algae, and some bacteria.

- Consumers: Organisms that consume other organisms to obtain energy. They cannot produce their own food. Consumers can be further divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers based on their position in the food chain.

- Primary consumers: Herbivores that consume producers (plants) for energy. Examples include rabbits, deer, and grasshoppers.

- Secondary consumers: Carnivores that consume primary consumers for energy. Examples include wolves, lions, and snakes.

- Tertiary consumers: Carnivores that consume secondary consumers for energy. Examples include apex predators such as sharks and eagles.
