2. List the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis. What part(s) of
the plant are responsible for
taking in each of the inputs?

Inputs: carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)

Output: Sugar (C6H12O6) and oxygen

- Roots take in water

- Leaves take in carbondioxide

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a unique metabolic process undergone by only set of organisms called AUTOTROPHS. Autotrophs are capable of synthesizing their own food by capturing light energy (from sun) and using it to make food (sugars).

This photosynthetic process requires certain substances called INPUTS, which are basically carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and give out products called OUTPUTS, which are sugars and oxygen gas.

- The CO2 input is taken in by the plant via the stomata on its leaves while the water (H2O) is absorbed by the roots of the plant.

is in the form atp or adenosine triphosphate

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
