Plant cells have mitochondria, which use glucose to produce atp. where does the glucose originate?

The glucose in the plant originates from the cellular process known as photosynthesis.

Explanation:

The glucose in the plant cell originates from the process photosynthesis which takes place in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

The carbon dioxide is combined with water in the leaves of the plant to get converted into glucose.

The light energy is converted into chemical energy. Oxygen is also released as a by-product of this process. The oxygen produced by the plants is also used for the conversion of glucose into ATP in mitochondria.

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.

when you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. this increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. the intercostal muscles between your ribs also enlarge the chest cavity. they contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.
