Cyanobacteria’s big advantage over other early life forms was their ability to perform photosynthesis. They contain a blue photo reactive pigment that can absorb the energy from the sunlight and use it to produce nutrients for the cell. During this process‚ water molecules are broken down into oxygen and hydrogen atoms which are then released in the air. In the very early days of life‚ Earth was populated only by anaerobic bacteria that didn’t need oxygen to survive. When cyanobacteria first made

The respiration and photosynthesis cycle is the process by which plants and animals interact in a codependent and symbiotic manner to produce the nutrients‚ gases‚ and energy that they require to survive. Plants obtain energy from sunlight and use it to combine carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is called photosynthesis. Animals eat plants containing glucose‚ and combine glucose and oxygen‚ releasing energy‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide. This process is called respiration

Energy In A Cell – Respiration & Photosynthesis Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are complementary reactions. In this lab‚ you will review both processes and put the steps of each in order of occurrence. You will gain from this exercise an overall understand of how these processes work hand-in-hand in cellular organisms. You will go to the following website: http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/0078757134/383932/BL_25.html After reading the guide‚ you will work to move

PAPER #1; PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CELLULAR RESPIRATION Name: Melvin G. Abramson SCI 115 – Essentials of Biology Professor: Casey Bethel Date: May 1st‚ 2012 Photosynthesis is the progression of translating light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the acquaintance of sugar. This process occurs in plants and some algae. Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts‚ distinctively using chlorophyll‚ the green pigment implicated in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis

Living things get energy to do things through photosynthesis‚ food molecule breakdown‚ build up‚ storage‚ and lastly cellular respiration. All of these ideas are the reason that myself and others have energy to do anything and everything. Photosynthesis is one way plants(plants are the main source of energy for all things)get energy to do things. The reactants of this are water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and although light energy is not a reactant‚ it is necessary once the energy from the seed is gone. Carbon

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which plants‚ some bacteria‚ and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar‚ which cellular respiration converts into ATP‚ the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy‚ is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time‚ the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen. Cellular respiration

Photosythesis and Cellular Respiration are both processes in Biology which transform energy in one form to another. Photosythesis is the process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy to produce glucose. Cellular respiration is the metabolic process in which food is broken down to form stored energy in the form of ATP. Although both processes are found in double membraned organelles‚ photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts in plant cells and cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria

Aerobic cellular respiration and oxygenic photosynthesis are two cellular processes that have evolved in similar ways. Cellular respiration is responsible for the process of ATP‚ meanwhile oxygenic photosynthesis is the process of turning light energy into food. It is evident that both of these processes have their own reactants‚ products‚ and biochemical pathways. Both of these processes have evolved from their primitive original state‚ but it is important to understand that oxygenic photosynthesis
