During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide, water, and energy from the sun and produce carbohydrates and oxygen. Which of the following statements best explains how plants follow the law of conservation of mass during photosynthesis?

The amount of each element in the reactants equals the amount of each element in the products.

The number of carbon dioxide molecules taken in exactly equals the number of carbohydrate molecules produced.

The plant uses the carbon dioxide gas, liquid water, and energy to produce a solid carbohydrate.

The plants mass does not increase or decrease as a result of photosynthesis.

Why was the sample heated in step 5? describe the chemical principles involved in the reasoning behind this step?

4.06 hc)a five-year review of threats to the southern resident orca population of the united states concluded that the top threats were prey availability, contaminants, and effects from recreational and whale watching vessels. further down the list are oil spills, disease, and effects from commercial vessels not targeting whales. how might this list be different if it were for transient whale populations, which have a larger average population size and live farther offshore in open waters? a)the transient population is more likely to be affected by contaminants. b)the transient population is less likely to be affected by whale watching vessels. c)the transient population is more likely to be affected by disease. d)the transient population is less likely to be affected by prey availability.
