Science Question Biology PLEEZ?

Question

1. What is chemosynthesis?


A The process in which organisms make organic molecules from carbon dioxide and light energy.
B The process in which organisms make organic molecules from other organisms.
C The process in which organisms make organic molecules from inorganic molecules and carbon dioxide.
D The process in which organisms make organic molecules from other organisms and light energy.

Pleeez answer if 100 percent sure.

thanks for trying, but the answer wasnt C. No more answers needed. Thanks. P.S. NOT MY HOMEWORK!!!!!

Answer 1

Synthesis of carbohydrate from carbon dioxide and water using energy obtained from the chemical oxidation of simple inorganic compounds.

Answer 2

Wikipedia says: (not always a very accurate site)

Chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of 1-carbon molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic molecules (e.g. hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis. Large populations of animals can be supported by chemosynthetic primary production at hydrothermal vents, methane clathrate cold seeps, and whale falls. Chemoautotrophs, organisms that obtain carbon through chemosynthesis, are responsible for the primary production in oxygen-deficient environments, generally fall into four groups: methanogens, halophiles, sulfur reducers, and thermoacidophiles.

Answer 3

Obviously you're not asking a question, you just want to make a controversial statement and get some Christians riled. Apparently you're not good at research. The dead sea scrolls date much of the old testament at least to 300 years before Christ. The gospels weren't written until about 20-30 years after Jesus died. There are some facts in a biology book, except evolution. Even evolutionists say "well, there are some gaps in the theory." You never here a missionary say "well, there are some gaps in our faith." Evolution is a religion perpetuated by atheists because they have nothing else to lean on. Are you so blind to see that mainly atheists believe in evolution?

Answer 4

The answer IS C. The carbon source doesn't have to be carbon dioxide, though.

Explanation:
A: photosynthesis
B: heterotrophy
C: chemosynthesis
D: I don't think there's a special name for this. Carnivorous plants also use photosynthesis.

Answer 5

well, let's see here. the glossary in my biology books defines chemosynthesis as the "process by which some organism use chemical energy to produce carbohydrates", so if this means anything to you, here you go. looking at your choices, i can't find a connection. maybe letter a.

Answer 6

A really great resource on the Web is the Wikipedia.

en.wikipedia.org

Use it just like you would for Google - type in "chemosynthesis" and see what comes back.

Answer 7

"chemosynthesis, process in which carbohydrates are manufactured from carbon dioxide and water"

water is inorganic

answer C looks good

Answer 8

c

Answer 9

almost positive that it is A

Answer 10

i am not doing your homework.
