heterotrophic.True3.Microorganisms classified as Plantae obtain most of their energy by convertingenergy intoenergy.Light (sunlight); chemical (sugars)1.Define catabolism.Catabolism is the process of breaking down larger molecules into useful energysources.2.Upon cellular injury, which metabolic process is involved during the growth andrepair phases of the cell? The anabolic process would be active as it (by definition) isinvolved in the building up of small complexes into larger complexes.1.In phosphorylation, the light reactions always occur where?The process of converting light energy into chemical energy(photophosphorylation) always occurs in the membrane.2.True or False: The Calvin cycle must occur in the absence of light.False. The term ‘dark reactions’ (also known as the Calvin Cycle) simply denotes thesecond stage in photosynthesis—dark reactions do not actually require darkness inorder to occur.

1.Assuming a constant (non-adjustable) light source power, identify the part of themicroscope you would adjust to limit the amount of light entering the microscope.Select all that apply.A.ObjectiveB.CondenserC.Iris diaphragmD.Eye pieceC. The iris controls the amount of light that passes through the sample and into theobjective lens. Thus, it can be adjusted (opened or closed) to alter the amount oflight.2.What is the total magnification (relative to your eye) of a sample imaged with a60x objective and a 10x eyepiece? Show your math.60 x 10 = 600x magnification
