Would there still be a Monomoy track team if the sun stopped shining?
Answer "yes" or "no" and explain WHY for full points.
No, because the energy we have is linked from the food we eat to plants that do photosynthesis using the sun.
Explain why when children eat a lot of sugar, they get really crazy!
One of the reactants for cell respiration is glucose (sugar).
So when a child eats a lot of sugar, more energy is made in the cells.
