Arrange the main stages of plant energy capture and food production in the correct sequential order from earliest to latest.
- 1Chlorophyll pigments inside chloroplasts capture radiant energy from sunlight.
- 2Absorbed solar energy is used to split water molecules, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
- 3Carbon dioxide is combined with chemical energy carriers to synthesize glucose.
- 4Surplus glucose units are assembled into insoluble starch for long-term energy storage.
Cevap
The correct sequence begins with chlorophyll absorbing sunlight, followed by the splitting of water to release oxygen, the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose, and finally the assembly of excess glucose into storage starch.
The biochemical pathway of photosynthesis follows a strict chronological order: radiant solar energy is first absorbed by chlorophyll, enabling the photolysis of water and release of oxygen. Next, energy carriers power the Calvin cycle to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, and finally, excess glucose is polymerized into starch for storage.
