- EVOLUTION LINK Some have argued that evolution is impossible because the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy always increases; therefore natural processes cannot give rise to greater complexity.

- I need help with the two questions attached belowarrow_forwardplease draw!!! Start with a photon of sunlight and a carbon atom in a molecule of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: model/diagram their pathway from that starting point to their final destination as a glucose molecule that is used for energy in a cell in the plant root. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what your diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the movement of mass and energy in plants. PLEASE INCLUDE , how does energy end up in the plant stem?arrow_forwardQ1) For primary producers such as plants, photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight. As a result of photosynthesis, plants produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). The CO2 is used to make glucose. Energy from sunlight is used to power the reaction that creates the glucose molecules. The data set below is the results of a study that investigated how light intensity (distance from a light source; cm) affects photosynthesis (bubble production; #O2 bubbles) in Elodea (aquatic plant). # of bubbles produced @ 5 cm # of bubbles produced @ 10 cm # of bubbles produced @ 20 cm # of bubbles produced @ 30 cm Group 1 0 9 7 0 Group 2 2 12 6 3 Group 3 2 9 9 2 Group 4 0 8 10 0 Group 5 1 10 7 5 Group 6 3 13 4 4 Group 7 3 10 8 4 Please identify the independent variable and the dependent variable in this study.

Then, need to explain how sugar gets transported from the leaf to be used in cell respiration in the root. Then need to diagram cell respiration, including each stage and the inputs and outputs.arrow_forward
