1. A) Photosynthesis space is a process in which the energy from light is used to produce carbohydrates. Aside from using light energy, photosynthesis includes carbon the oxide and water.
A1) In order to generate energy aerobic respiration requires oxygen, although fats and proteins and carbohydrates can be consumed and processed as reactant, is the usual method of breaking down in glycolysis and usually requires the pyruvate to enter the mitochondrion to be oxidized by the Krebs cycle. The final product of this process is energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
B) Photosynthesis makes auction as a byproduct, the auction results from the splitting of water during the late actions of the photosynthesis. This option is released into the atmosphere and then used by organism that subsequently released water and carbon dioxide as a byproduct. So basically both organism types meet each other to provide the needed energy to survive.
C) Plants use sunlight to make ATP for its energy source to create a series of chemical reactions with carbon dioxide which produces oxygen as a waste product (Calvin cycle). Then animals (we) eat the plants. And with those nutrients the process is reversed. Using ATP as an energy source our cells take the ingested nutrients from the plants with a series of chemical reactions involving oxygen and producing carbon dioxide as a waste product (Kreb's cycle). It's a series of vicious cycles that we call life. In the words of Trefil (1992, p.93) “hooking and unhooking the last phosphate is what keeps the whole world operating”.
2. Fermentation is a process used by the human body to catabolize (break down) sugar (glucose) to create energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
A. The process that does not involve oxygen which is known as anaerobic fermentation, which is not unlike the more efficient aerobic respiration. Only 2 ATPs are released during as compared to the aerobic
