Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy? the process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds of glucose. the process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be used for cell functions. the process of photosynthesis is energy-conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming glucose and oxygen molecules. the process of photosynthesis is energy-wasting because photosynthesis is an inefficient process that depletes the cell of energy stored in the bonds of glucose.

A. The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds of glucose.

4.) metal

"-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."
