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 known as a. herbivores b. decomposers c. carnivores d. autotrophs

Explanation:

1. The equation represents photosynthesis which occurs in chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and are the site of the light - dependent and light - independent reactions of photosynthesis.
2. Heterotrophs obtain energy by breaking down organic compounds (such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) through cellular respiration.
3. Autotrophs use photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
4. Autotrophs, such as plants and some bacteria, can use carbon dioxide (an atmospheric gas) to produce organic nutrients like glucose through photosynthesis.

Answer:

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