Prior to photosynthesis, where did ancient lifeforms get energy?

Many of the current bacteria originated from ancestors that were more than 3.5 billion years ago capable of turning Solar energy to fuels.

Explanation:

The method of photosynthesis uses Solar energy to generate sugar in water, carbon dioxide and oxygen as waste products to produce plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.

answer: d. load

a river's load refers to the natural phenomena in which the sediments, rocks   stones, boulders and other deposits are removed and picked from the bottom bed of the river due to the abrasion resulted by the high speed water current.
