Polymers assembled from simple building blocks d. Asteroids and meteors provide building blocks for life on eartharrow_forwardAnimals obtain energy through a series of chemical reactions in which sugar (C6H12O6) and oxygen gas (O2) are reactants. This process produces water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2 ) as waste products. How might you use a radioactive isotope to find out whether the oxygen in CO2 comes from sugar or from oxygen gas?arrow_forwardIn 1941, biologists exposed photosynthesizing cells to water containing a heavy oxygen isotope, designated 180. The "labelled" isotope appears in the 02 gas released in photosynthesis, showing that the oxygen came from water. Where would the 180 have ended up if the researcher had used 180-labeled CO2 instead of H2O? A. ADP B. NADP+ C. Rubisco D. DP and NADP+ E. Glucosearrow_forward

A. sunlight B. DNA C. a source of oxygen D. a source of energyarrow_forwardWith the advent of photosynthesis, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere has varied over the eons up to 35 % by volume, theoretically leading to larger plants and animals. The current concentration is 21 % oxygen, 78 % nitrogen, and 1 % other gases such as argon and carbon dioxide. Assuming an atmosphere of 16 % oxygen, to the nearest whole number (no decimal) what would be the ideal volume of water (in mL) initially placed in a 25 mL graduated cylinder (assuming the graduation goes up to the lip of the container) for optimal combustion (biggest explosion) if we collected pure hydrogen by displacement as in this experiment? Make sure to account for the stoichiometry of the combustion, that all gases involved are diatomic, and that equal moles of different ideal gases occupy equal volumes at the same temperature.
