Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are fascinating‚ complicated‚ and important processes that are essential to life. Cellular respiration exists in animal and plants‚ whereas photosynthesis only exists in plants due to the chloroplast organelle. Cellular respiration starts with glucose‚ and oxygen and the photosynthesis process on the other hand starts off with the absorption of photons of light from the sun.While the end products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and ATP‚ the

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration play significant roles in existence of all living organisms on the planet. Supplying energy to the cells they carry out is the main process called life. Photosynthesis is the process by which several living organisms such as plants and bacteria utilize sunlight and several raw materials such as carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars and release oxygen into the atmosphere. It does not only supplies oxygen which required for human life but it is also the

obtain this energy through the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis‚ organisms harness light energy obtained from the sun to produce organic compounds. On the other hand‚ cellular respiration breaks down the organic compounds produced from photosynthesis to harvest the energy needed to carry out the energy-consuming activities of the cell. As complementary processes‚ photosynthesis and cellular respiration provide each other with the raw materials needed for each reaction

Cellular Respiration Project Objective Answers 1. The overall equation for Cellular Respiration is 6O2 + C6H12O6 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy. Overall‚ it is the reverse reaction of photosynthesis‚ but chemically‚ the steps involved are very different. All you have to do is just flip both sides of the equation of photosynthesis‚ and you have the opposite‚ which is the equation for cellular respiration. They are reversible chemical reactions‚ meaning that the products of one process are the exact

are three main stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis‚ the citric acid cycle‚ and electron transport/oxidative phosphorylation. Enzymes play a role in cellular respiration. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze or affect the rate of chemical reactions. The main purpose of enzymes in cellular respiration is to help in transporting electrons from one molecule to another. These transfers are called redox reactions. Where the loss of electrons from one molecule oxidation must correspond with more

Biology 101 1 November 2013 Cellular Respiration in Peas Part A: Abstract: This report examines Cellular Respiration and its functions as well as its function in germinating and non-germination peas. Cellular Respiration can best be described as a complicated string of chemical reactions. The complete Cellular respiration process begins with Glucose being oxidized‚ and the potential energy is transferred to the ATP molecule. The ATP molecule is now free to supply energy to the various

Chapter 6 Measuring Vital Signs Unit 1: Temperature‚ Pulse‚ and Respiration UNIT RATIONALE Important indicators of your patient’s/client’s health status are known as vital signs. Vital signs give you information about breathing‚ body temperature‚ and the heart. They are a good indication of how well the body systems are functioning. As a health care worker‚ you need to observe patients whenever you are near them. Your knowledge of vital signs and how to measure them helps you know when to report that

Compare & Contrast C-E-R Paper Photosynthesis is the process that captures energy from sunlight and make sugars to store for chemical energy‚ whereas cellular respiration is the process that releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present. In addition‚ cellular respiration takes place in both plant and animal cells while photosynthesis only takes place in plant cells‚ but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s less important to animals in the long

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis are two processes that occur in a cell. Cellular respiration coverts glucose and oxygen into ATP and its byproducts‚ carbon dioxide and water‚ are what cause photosynthesis to occur which is then converted into glucose and ATP and then release oxygen. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast while cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. The glucose for cellular respiration is first split in the cytoplasm during the process glycolysis then the Kreb’s
