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.

Alichen is an organism that structurally appears to be a single organism. but a lichen is actually two different organisms—a fungus and green algae—living together as one organism. the fungal partner derives its nutrition from the photosynthesizing algae. how does a lichen differ in its photosynthetic activity from elysia chlorotica, the sea slug that’s considered to be a photosynthesizing animal? a. in lichens, the fungi photosynthesize on their own, while elysia chlorotica forms a relationship with a photosynthesizing plant. b. in lichens, the relationship with the algae lasts throughout the life cycle, but in elysia chlorotica, the relationship occurs only during the immature juvenile stage of the slug’s life cycle. c. lichens can photosynthesize only because of the living algal partner, while elysia chlorotica incorporates chloroplasts from algae into its cells. d. in lichens, the association between the fungi and algae is permanent, while elysia chlorotica associates with a photosynthesizing organism only when it requires food.

This connective tissue consists of large round densely packed cells with the nucleus pushed to one side.
