The synthesis that takes place in plants to produce glucose is complex. There are two main phases: the light-dependent reactions and the light-independent reactions. The light-dependent reactions—as the name suggests—require sunlight. In these reactions, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which is converted into energy-rich molecules like ATP. In the light-independent reactions, those energy-rich molecules are used to assemble glucose from carbon dioxide and other compounds. The light-dependent reactions fuel the light-independent reactions. Sometimes, these are called the light and dark reactions, but this is misleading because plants will stop performing photosynthesis if left in darkness. They need the light to get those light-dependent reactions—the first step of photosynthesis—started. Which detail from the passage was included to explain why the name "dark reactions" is misleading?

a. "The light-dependent reactions—as the name suggests—require sunlight."

b. "...those energy-rich molecules are used to assemble glucose..."

c. "...plants will stop performing photosynthesis if left in darkness."

d. "The synthesis that takes place in plants to produce glucose is complex."

because the light is a great source of energy for the plants to survive. (i hope this )

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."    

human didn't come from monkeys man i hate these stupid teachers

your body is trying to warm itself up. or more precisely, sensors in your skin send messages to your brain to generate heat to your body.
