In discussion, we analyzed the initial and final states of a toy model of photosynthesis: the reaction co2 + h2o ↔ h2co + o2.

the binding of the carbon in the organic molecule (formaldehyde) has effectively traded a strong c=o double bond for a weaker o=o double bond, so the reaction is endothermic from left to right. (the right side has a higher chemical energy so you have to put energy in to get there.)

although that tells the overall result, the actual mechanism of photosynthesis is more complicated. discovering how this works is one of the great stories of figuring out what is happening in a complex biological process.

I'm kinda lost ! 1. when marilyn takes her pet dog for a walk, the dog walks at a veryconsistent pace of 0.55 m/s. draw a position-time graph to representmarilyn's dog walking the 19.8 m distance from the front of her house tothe nearest fire hydrant.2. both car a and car bleave school when a stopwatch reads zero. car atravels at a constant 75 km/h, and car b travels at a constant 85 km/h.a) draw a position-time graph showing the motion of both cars. howfar are the two cars from school when the stopwatch reads 2 hrs? calculate the distances and show them on your graph.b) both cars passed a gas station 120 km from the school. when dideach car pass the gas station? calculate the times and show themon your graph.3. the figure below shows the position-time graph showing a shopper'smovement up and down the aisle at a store.a) write a story describing the shopper's movements at the store.b) when does the shopper have a position of 6 m? c) how much time passes between when the shopper enters the aisleand when he gets to a position of 12 m? what is the shopper's averagevelocity between 37 s and 46 s?

The speed of light can be used to measure the

Ascientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). she aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). the index of refraction of water is 1.3
