How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different to each other?
Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.
What’s the difference between respiration and cellular respiration?
Respiration (breathing) is the way your body gets oxygen into the lungs from the air outside. Cellular respiration describes how your cells make ATP – a molecule used to provide energy for chemical reactions.
Why is photosynthesis more important than cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis serves as the primary source of energy in plants while cellular respiration breaks down the glucose in the cell to provide energy to carry out life processes.
Why are photosynthesis and cellular respiration considered complementary reactions?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary because both depend on the inputs and outputs of both processes to continue. Photosynthesis requires CO2, which cellular respiration outputs, and cellular respiration needs oxygen which photosynthesis makes.
Why is cellular respiration the opposite of photosynthesis?
Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis are almost opposite processes because photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while cellular respiration puts back carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and has it’s waste product of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Which is important to plants photosynthesis or cellular respiration?
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis almost complementary processes?
How photosynthesis and respiration are complementing processes?
Photosynthesis requires the products of respiration, while respiration requires the products of photosynthesis. Together these reactions allow cells to make and store energy and help regulate atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Why photosynthesis is more important than cellular respiration?
Why is photosynthesis important for all organisms?
Photosynthesis is important for all living organisms because it provides the oxygen needed by most living creatures for survival on the planet.
What group uses cellular respiration?
There are two main types of organisms that use cellular respiration: autotrophs and heterotrophs. Autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food. The types of organisms that are autotrophs include plants as well as some bacteria and protists (such as algae).
Does photosynthesis break down glucose?
During this process, plants use oxygen to breakdown the glucose produced during photosynthesis. Respiration is actually the opposite of photosynthesis. Let’s discuss this a bit more. Please complete the post: Photosynthesis, Investigate the Amazing Power of Plants before continuing.
What is a summary of photosynthesis?
In summary, photosynthesis is a process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy and used to produce organic compounds. In plants, photosynthesis typically occurs within the chloroplasts located in plant leaves.
