WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ENERGY AND MATTER Life issolar powered. Almost all the producers of the biospheredepend on energy from the sun to produce the organicmolecules that supply the energy and carbon skeletonsneeded for life. In a short essay (100–150 words), describehow the process of photosynthesis in the chloroplasts ofplants transforms the energy of sunlight into the chemicalenergy of sugar molecules.
In which of the following processes is carbon dioxide reduced toform carbohydrate?a. cellular respirationb. noncompetitive inhibitionc. photosynthesisd. induced fit model
Differentiate photosynthesis and respiration in terms of properties, material/s used, material/s produced (if there's any)
It is not so difficult to imagine what it means to feedon the organic molecules that living things produce. Thatis, after all, what we do. But what does it mean to “feed” onsunlight, as phototrophs do? Or, even stranger, to “feed” onrocks, as lithotrophs do? Where is the “food,” for example,in the mixture of chemicals (H2S, H2, CO, Mn+, Fe2+, Ni2+,CH4, and NH4+) that spews from a hydrothermal vent?
The burning of fossil fuels releases CO2 into the atmosphereand is detrimental to the Earth’s ecosystems. Explain whythe use of biofuels, which also release CO2, is an improvement over fossil fuels.
The raw materials for photosynthesis area. oxygen and water.b. oxygen and carbon dioxide.c. carbon dioxide and water.d. carbohydrates and water.e. carbohydrates and carbon dioxide.
Scientific evidence indicates that the CO2CO2added to the air by the burning of wood and fossil fuels is contributing to global warming, a rise in global temperature. Tropical rain forests are estimated to be responsible for approximately 20% of global photosynthesis, yet the consumption of large amounts of CO2CO2 by living trees is thought to make little or no netcontribution to reduction of global warming. Explain why this might be the case. (HINT: What processes in both living and dead trees produce CO2CO2?)
The energy that is used by almost all living things on our planet comes from the sun. It is captured by plants, algae, and some bacteria through the process ofa. respiration. c. photosynthesis.b. the Krebs cycle. d. fermentation
The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased since the beginning of the industrial age. Based on what you have learned in this unit, predict the effect of increased carbon dioxide on the rate of photosynthesis in the biosphere
Excited molecules can return to the ground state by severalmeans. Describe each briefly. Which of these processes areimportant in photosynthesis? Describe how they function ina living organism.
In biofuel production, plants are grown in order to create fuels thatare eventually burned in vehicles like automobiles. Overall, does theprocess of biofuel production add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere,remove it, or both?
Which of the following processes increase(s) the amount of atmospheric carbon in the carbon cycle? (a) photosynthesis (b) cellular respiration (c) combustion (d) a and c (e) b and c
