Organisms living in a forest ecosystem rely on the sun as a source of energy for metabolic processes. The following events occur as energy is captured by a plant and used in the metabolic processes of an herbivore.

Put the events in order.

• energy is transferred to molecules of ATP

• energy is absorbed by plant cells

• energy is stored in large organic molecules

• energy is released from chemical bonds

A cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in stem of a corn plant. Based on this observation, it can be inferred that, when compared to the cell in the stem, the cell in the leaf:

• synthesizes more sugar

• produces fewer proteins

• has a higher chromosome count

• uses less carbon dioxide
