Recall that the main function of chloroplasts is to convert sunlight to chemical energy, or to carry out photosynthesis. Plant (and eukaryotic algae) cells contain these organelles, while animal cells do not, and hence, animals cannot carry out photosynthesis.
So, a lack of chloroplasts would mean that an organism would not be able to convert sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
Plants cells, and specifically the chloroplast organelle, are able to absorb sunlight, and together with CO₂ and water, produce glucose (for the plant to eat) and oxygen (which is released into the atmosphere). That glucose is further broken down by the plants' mitochondria. Animals directly consume the glucose to be broken down and converted into energy, hence why we do not have - nor need - chloroplasts in our cells.
Answer:
Part A
Given that the graph is symmetrical and bell shaped, the average kinetic energy is given by the midline of graph, which corresponds to the common speed of the highest number of the population
Part B
The formula for the average kinetic energy, K.E. = (3/2)·(R/NA)·T
Therefore, the part of the graph that indicates the temperature of the sample is the average kinetic energy. K.E.
Part C
At a lower temperature, the heat is less evenly distributed and we have the distribution T2 higher than T1

Answer:
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three main subatomic particles found in an atom.
Explanation:
Answer:
1.14atm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
V1 = 250cm³ ;
1000cm³ = 1dm³; so this is 0.25dm³
P1 = 760torr
760torr = 1atm
V2 = 220cm³ ; 0.22dm³
Unknown:
New pressure = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply Boyle's law and we use the expression below:
P1 V1 = P2V2
The unknown is P2;
1 x 0.25 = P2 x 0.22
P2 = 1.14atm
