varying conditions. capture and conversion of radiant energy to chemical energy takes place in chloroplasts (chloroplasts are localized in specialized tissues) products of photosynthesis are used in respiration‚ growth‚ repair‚ maintenance‚ storage. energy consuming reactions must take place for the substances of photosynthesis to be transported around the plant. energy is supplied to plant cells through respiration movement of substances occurs by diffusion‚ osmosis and active transport.

M4A1 Midterm Essay BIO110 Excelsior College 1. You are the biologist in a group of scientists who have traveled to a distant star system and landed on a planet. You see an astounding array of shapes and forms. You have three days to take samples of living things before returning to earth. How do you decide what is alive? If three days is all I have to take samples of living things‚ then it would be very hard to determine what is truly alive‚ as the time restriction only allows for certain

get this energy is different for plant and animal cells. Plants cells undergo a process called photosynthesis where light energy from the sun is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. For animal cells‚ the process is known as cellular respiration by which cells break down complex molecules‚ such as sugars‚ to release carbon dioxide. The complex chemical reactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration help meet the energy needs of living things. (Cellular Respiration)

Recycling of carbon and oxygen is important‚ and producers‚ consumers‚ and decomposers all have a role in the process. i. plants through photosynthesis ii. animals through respiration iii. Decomposers through the breakdown of organic material 5. What natural processes make the water cycle work? • evaporation => liquid water to a gas • condensation => gaseous water to a liquid • transpiration=>

All oxygen-breathing life forms take in Oxygen and exhale CO2. Plants take in the CO2 and use it in their photosynthesis process and in turn give off oxygen. The Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cycle is a continuously occurring process whereby animals inhale Oxygen and then exhale carbon dioxide‚ and plants use the CO2 and "exhale" O2. Plants and other producers use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis. They produce oxygen as a waste product. Carbon dioxide moves from the air into the leaves of plants. Oxygen

gaseous envelope of the earth which extends up to a height of 22.5 km. The area of contact and interaction between these components is really important for life‚ for it is here that the entire life is confined and the basic processes of life like photosynthesis and respiration occur. Living organisms are‚ mostly‚ confined to the parts of biosphere that receive solar radiation during the day. As stated above this includes atmosphere‚ the surface of land‚ the few meters of soil and the upper layers

Energy Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their own food. This occurs in presence of sunlight and other raw materials‚ namely carbon dioxide and water. The chlorophyll pigment harvests the light energy from sunlight‚ which is then converted into glucose by the phenomenon of photosynthesis. In short‚ it is the opposite of aerobic respiration. The equation for photosynthesis is: 6 CO2+ 6 H2O + Light energy → C6H12O6
