1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. Include in your paper: •Complete descriptions of photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. •Describe how these two processes are linked between plants and animals based on the reactants and products (water‚ carbon dioxide‚ glucose and oxygen) of both pathways. •Include a description of how energy is transferred from sunlight to ATP‚ from ATP to sugars‚ and from sugars

complexes. Chlorophyll molecules use their energy to strip water molecules‚ and biological molecules then adding hydrogen to them. In prokaryotes instead of chloroplast they use their own cell membranes to do the job. Wavelength also has a role in photosynthesis because they have just the right amount of energy to excite chlorophyll electrons boosting them to a higher energy level. When summing everything up the reactants are carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and the suns energy and the process is light dependent

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

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 of animal cells. Photosynthesis uses water and carbon dioxide as reactants to produce glucose and oxygen where as cellular respiration uses glucose and molecular oxygen as reactants to produce water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and energy (ATP). Photosynthesis is a two part process which includes photophosphorylation (light reactions)

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

Determining the Effect of Light Intensity on Photosynthesis Avalon Pernell‚ et al Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine how light affected photosynthesis‚ specifically the production of O2 bubbles. It was predicted that when the light was more intense the O2 bubble production will be high. Conversely‚ when the light was less intense the O2 bubble production will be lower. Basically the plant that is closer to the light will produce more bubbles than the plant that is placed farther away

American chemist Dr. Daniel Nocera has devoted his career to finding this alternative energy source using photosynthesis as his inspiration. Photosynthesis‚ the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy stored in the bonds of glucose‚ is arguably one of the most important chemical reactions on earth. The maintenance of life on earth‚ our food‚ oxygen‚ and fossil fuels depend upon photosynthesis. In this process water and carbon dioxide are converted to oxygen and glucose using energy from the sun

How does photosynthesis impact the flow of energy and the cycling of nutrients‚ you ask? Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis provides the base for the one way flow of energy through the biosphere. Plants convert energy from the sun into sugars‚ which provide fuel for themselves and for other organisms. Photosynthesis also cycles carbon and oxygen nutrients through the

explain to you why photosynthesis is bad while helping Earth too. I will be giving you a few reasons to explain that photosynthesis is important. So even though photosynthesis can kill the plant‚ photosynthesis is important‚ because it helps grow food for omnivores and herbivores. Photosynthesis grows plants and trees‚ which produce clean‚ fresh oxygen. Photosynthesis helps us living organisms with lungs breathe. It helps us when plants go through the process called photosynthesis. During this process
