learning about protists
i have a blank to fill in:
Producers use _____ as energy , during what process??
i wrote sunlight , photosyntheses process is this right?
Quest2
Protists producers are algae that have green pigment, chlorphyll that is used for making: ____-
i wrote: carbohydrate?
is that right?
Yes, you are correct in both your answers. Let me explain why.
In the first question, "Producers use _____ as energy, during what process?", you correctly filled in the blank with "sunlight", which is the energy source used by producers. The process associated with this energy conversion is photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, producers, such as plants and algae, utilize sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of these organisms, which contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing sunlight.
In the second question, "Protist producers are algae that have green pigment, chlorophyll that is used for making: ____," you filled in the blank with "carbohydrates", which is also correct. During photosynthesis, when sunlight is captured by chlorophyll, it is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Carbohydrates, including glucose, are the primary products formed during this process. These carbohydrates serve as an energy source for both the algae and other organisms that consume them.
By understanding the concept of photosynthesis and the role of chlorophyll in capturing sunlight, you were able to correctly fill in the blanks. Well done!
