In photosynthesis and respiration, energy is converted from one form to another. light is a form of radiant energy. glucose and atp molecules store chemical energy. in the photosynthesis chemical equation, does the radiant energy of the sun act as a reactant or a product? explain your answer.

Need ! will give 20 points! what are two ways that diatoms differ from slime molds? the external coverings of diatoms are made up of (silica, chitin or peptidoglycan), while slime molds have cell walls containing (silica, peptidoglycan or chitin). diatoms are (chemoheterotrophs, photoautotrophs or chemoautotrophs) because they make food through photosynthesis, while slime molds are (heterotrophs, phototrophs or autotrophs) because they eat decaying plant matter.
