Concept explainers

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.

Question

Hello sir/miss, the question and answer are provided below. Is the answer to the question correct?

Explain how the carbon cycle is related to energy flow in ecosystems.

The carbon cycle is related to energy flow in ecosystems because they both involve photosynthesis. In the carbon cycle, carbon dioxide plays a role in plants and microorganisms using photosynthesis. The energy flow in ecosystems absorbs a small part of the Sun’s radiant energy (0.023%) by living organisms for photosynthesis.

Hello sir/miss, the question and answer are provided below. Is the answer to the question correct? Explain how the carbon cycle is related to energy flow in ecosystems. As organic molecules are produced by joining and reducing carbon atoms, energy is stored in them. This is done by producers or plants. Then, when these molecules are broken down and carbon is oxidized, energy is released, this is called cellular respiration or burning. Carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere and absorbed from the atmosphere when this occurs.
Can you please pick the right answer in each parentheses? In photorespiration ["oxygen", "NADH"] is consumed and ["nitrous oxide", "carbon dioxide"] is produced, and requires the activity of ["glycerate dehydrogenase", "the enzyme rubisco"] in the stroma of the chloroplast. Photorespiration ["decreases", "increases", ""] photosynthetic efficiency and is particularly prevalent under conditions of high temperature, found in more equatorial latitudes. Plants in these ecosystems have evolved to alter photorespiration, capturing carbon dioxide in the form of ["phosphoenolpyruvate", "oxaloacetate"] that is then converted to ["malate", "pyruvate"] used to regenerate CO2 and delivered to rubisco in the calvin cycle to achieve carbon fixation.
Background: One of the main drivers of climate change is the emissions of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. This has altered the global carbon cycle. using the link below to watch https://youtu.be/xk11DVaAjEA PROMPT: 1) What role does photosynthesis paly in the global carbon cycle? 2) What are fossil fuels and how are they altering the global carbon cycle? 3. Learn about carbon sequestration. Briefly explain what it is and how it can help to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Post a link an example of where/how this is being implemented.
In a corn field in Oklahoma, the net primary productivity is 150 grams/m2/day and the respiration loss is 33.3 percent. The insolation energy is 950 calories/cm2/day and one gram of corn is equivalent to 1700 calories. Find the gross productivity of the corn. Using the NPP, calculate the efficiency of photosynthesis for the corn.

Your short answer should be 2-5 sentences depending on the question. (Ch. 55). Please answer both questions. 1) Describe the fundamental relationship between energy flow and chemical cycling in an ecosystem. 2) Explain what factors may limit primary production in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
The basic raw materials for photosynthesis are: sugar and carbon dioxide. water and carbon dioxide. oxygen and water. sugar and water. oxygen and carbon dioxide
There are three major resources (and several others in smaller quantities) that are required by the photosynthetic process. Which one of the following is NOT one of those three resources? CO2 nitrogen sunlight H2O
As the sun shines on Earth, plants use its energy to complete the process of photosynthesis. Energy is transformed during the process into chemical energy in the form of sugars, such as carbohydrates. However, the energy available at top consumers is much less than that produced by autotrophs. Why is this so?
