The process in photosynthesis that uses energy from the sun is combining carbon dioxide and hydrogen. This process occurs during the Calvin cycle, where energy absorbed from sunlight during the light-dependent reactions is used to convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen (from water) into glucose.

A scientist fills a glass container with water and places an aquatic plant inside the container, then closes the lid and places the container in direct sunlight. The scientist observes small bubbles on the surfaces of the plant’s leaves on days 1 and 2, but no bubbles on day 3. The scientist concludes that the bubbles were caused by photosynthesis. Which substance should be added to the water in order for the bubbles to reappear?(1 point)

To help the bubbles reappear, the scientist should add carbon dioxide to the water. Carbon dioxide is one of the key reactants in the process of photosynthesis, and its availability is essential for the aquatic plant to produce oxygen and generate the bubbles observed on the leaves when photosynthesis occurs.

The remaining energy from glucose molecules during cellular respiration is released as excess heat. While some energy is stored in the form of ATP, a significant portion of the energy is lost to the environment in the form of heat during the biochemical processes of cellular respiration.
