Plant cells may generate energy through which of the following?

73% Answer Correctly

all of these

anaerobic respiration

aerobic respiration

photosynthesis


Solution

Some plant cells produce their own energy through photosynthesis which is the process by which sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water react to make sugar and oxygen. Animal cells cannot produce their own energy and, instead, generate energy when mitochondria consume outside sugar and oxygen through aerobic respiration.


3

53% Answer Correctly

troposphere

thermosphere

mesosphere

stratosphere


Solution

In the mesosphere, temperature again drops as altitude increases until the coldest point in the Earth's atmosphere, the mesopause, is reached where temperatures fall to −225 °F (−143 °C).
