The type of energy plants need to complete photosynthesis

What is radiant energy?

100

Read the statements below.

  1. High wind speeds decrease the temperature in the mountains.

  2. The sunlight in alpine biomes is very strong due to the high elevation of the mountains.

  3. Temperatures can range from warm to below freezing in one day.

  4. Mountain goats are warm-blooded animals that can survive in alpine biomes.

***DAILY DOUBLE***

Read the statements below.

  1. Mixture 1: The combined liquids have a greater mass than either of the starting liquids.

  2. Mixture 2: The liquids, when mixed, produce a white solid, which settles to the bottom.

  3. Mixture 3: The mixture of the two liquids takes the shape of the container.

  4. Mixture 4: The denser of the two liquids lies below the other, less dense liquid.

Identify the chemical reaction.
