Fill in the blanks! In the process of photosynthesis, in autotrophs convert solar energy into chemical energy and store this 'food' for later use. The reaction for photosynthesis is: 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + energy --> C6H12O6(s) + O2(g). In the process of , mitochondria in the cells of plants, animals and other multicellular organisms break down 'food' molecules to generate molecules of . This is the source of energy for all cellular functions. The reaction for cellular respiration is:

Word bank:

` cellular respiration
` NADPH and FADH2
` C6H1206(s) + 02(g) -- CO2(g) + 6H20(I) + energy

Aresearcher designed an investigation to test what effect eating different types of food would have on blood insulin levels. she selected 10 male subjects who were all 25 years of age and in good health. the experiment took place over 3 days. at 8: 00 a. m. on each day, the subjects ate a meal consisting of only 1 type of food. they had their blood insulin levels measured after consuming the meal. on day 1 they ate a high fat diet, on day 2 they ate a high protein diet, and on day 3 they ate a high sugar diel what is the independent variable in this experiment? a the age of the subjects b the blood insulin level c the type of food consumed d the time of day the meal was consumed
