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

Chapter 7 and 8 discuss and give in depth details on photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They are the exact opposites in what they set out to complete in the cells of a leaf. Photosynthesis takes light energy and separates it in the chloroplasts to create glucose. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy for the cell. The similarities between them include overlap in some of the enzymes and products and reactants utilized. The differences include the cycles and steps taken to

This lab was split up into two different experiments‚ using different variables in each. During the first section of the lab‚ we investigated the what the effect of light is on both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Our hypothesis about this effect was that the cuvette representing ‘no light’‚ being covered in foil‚ would result in a yellow CO2 indicator fluid‚ meaning that there was a decrease in pH and a high level of CO2 was present. Additionally‚ we hypothesized that the cuvette that was

Title: Showing Cellular Respiration through Alcoholic Fermentation Abstract: The experiment was conducted to determine the impact different yeast amounts had on yeast fermentation. It was hypothesized that the more yeast added the more CO2 would be produced. The carbon dioxide production was measured in the fermentation of yeast with solution of no yeast in test tube 1‚ 1mL yeast in test tube 2‚ and 3mL of yeast in test tube 3 over a period of twenty minutes. All of the yeast amounts produced

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

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

energy production. They are also the responsible location for which respiration takes place. Mitochondria contain enzymes that help convert food material into adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ which can be used directly by the cell as an energy source. Mitochondria tend to be concentrated near cellular structures that require large inputs of energy‚ such as the flagellum. The role of the mitochondria is very important in respiration. In the presence of oxygen‚ pyruvate or fatty acids‚ can be further

Living organisms catabolize organic molecules within their cells and use the energy released to manufacture ATP by phosphorylating ADP. Many prokaryotes and virtually all Eukaryotes phosphorylate ADP either through fermentation (anaerobic) or respiration (aerobic). Both of these processes involve oxidation of foodstuffs‚ yet only the latter requires oxygen. Cellular respiration is a very complex process that consists of many steps that take place inside the cell‚ in an organelle called a mitochondrion
