RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How does matter move through these systems (photosynthesis and respiration)
A
Matter changes form as it moves
B
Matter is recycled as the atoms are rearranged in to different molecules
C
Matter starts as Sunlight and moves to ATP
D
The amount of matter decreases as it moves through the system
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Energy enters an ecosystem when producers carry out photosynthesis, capturing energy from the sun and storing it as chemical potential energy. During this process, matter from the environment (in the form of C O X 2 CO2 COX2 and H X 2 O H2O HX2O) is taken in and rearranged into organic molecules (sugars).

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Matter cycles between the air and soil and among plants, animals, and microbes as these organisms live and die. Organisms obtain gases, and water, from the environment, and release waste matter (gas, liquid, or solid) back into the environment.
