Question

1. the equation below represents a summary of a biological process. carbon dioxide + water → glucose + water + oxygen this process is completed in a.mitochondria b. ribosomes c. cell membranes d. chloroplasts 15. in heterotrophs, energy for the life processes comes from the chemical energy stored in the bonds of a. water molecules b. oxygen molecules c. organic compounds d. inorganic compounds 16. which process is directly used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose? a. diffusion b. photosynthesis c. respiration d. active transport 17. organisms that have the ability to use an atmospheric gas to produce an organic nutrient are known as a. herbivores b. decomposers c. carnivores d. autotrophs

Explanation:

1. The equation represents photosynthesis which occurs in chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll that captures light energy to drive the process.
2. Heterotrophs obtain energy from the chemical - energy stored in the bonds of organic compounds by breaking them down through cellular respiration.
3. Autotrophs use photosynthesis to store energy in glucose. They capture light energy and convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
4. Autotrophs are organisms that can use an atmospheric gas (carbon dioxide) to produce an organic nutrient (glucose) through processes like photosynthesis.

Answer:

1. D. chloroplasts
2. C. organic compounds
3. B. photosynthesis
4. D. autotrophs
