The Elements of Life
In biology, the elements of life are the essential building blocks that make up living things. They are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. The first four of these are the most important, as they are used to construct the molecules that are necessary to make up living cells. These elements form the basic building blocks of the major macromolecules of life, including carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins. Carbon is an important element for all living organisms, as it is used to construct the basic building blocks of life, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Even the cell membranes are made of proteins. Carbon is also used to construct the energy-rich molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP). Hydrogen is used to construct the molecules water and organic compounds with carbon. Hydrogen is also used to construct ATP and GTP. Nitrogen is used to construct the basic building blocks of life, such as amino acids, nucleic acids, and proteins. It is also used to construct ATP and GTP. Oxygen is used to construct the basic building blocks of life, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. It is also used to construct ATP and GTP. Phosphorus is used to construct the basic building blocks of life, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Hi there to answer this question. Let's start off by talking about photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is an endo thermic process which means energy needs to come into the process energy is a reactant. So we have energy combining with six molecules of carbon dioxide, six molecules of water to produce a molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen. Cellular respiration on the other hand is pretty much a reverse of this reaction. We start with the glucose and six molecules of water and we produce six Carbon dioxide molecules, six water molecules and then energy is released. So setting the respiration is exhaust thermic. Alright, so for photosynthesis the energy there comes from of course the sun and in cellular respiration, the energy that goes off is used to power this is the organism. It's usually in the form of a teepee which is a readily available form of energy which can then be used for cellular processes. And of course some has released as heat as well. Alright, so what do we need for each of these? Well, for photosynthesis we of course need the sun or solar energy. So we need solar energy to drive photosynthesis. Since some of the respiration, his eggs are thermic, it brings its own energy. And that energy is stored as potential chemical energy in the bonds of the glucose molecule. So, solar energy for photosynthesis and chemical energy stored as potential energy in the bonds of the glucose for cellular respiration, cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria and produces the energy that cells need. Alright, so the statement then is that last answer option there? Solar energy is needed for photosynthesis because energy has to come in. And then cellular respiration harvest that energy from the glucose molecule. So the energy and the bonds of the glucose molecule is what drives that and release energy, making cellular respiration exo thermic. All right, thank you so much for asking your question, and I hope this was helpful.
