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

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

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

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process which used by plants to capture light energy and use it to do chemical reactions that change carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy (ATP)‚ carbohydrates just like sugar. Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food with oxygen. Plants cells do photosynthesis and cellular respiration both ‚but animal cells can only do the cellular respiration. In photosynthesis reaction

Cellular Respiration Photosynthesis Organelles Mitochondria Chloroplast Organelle Structures The double-membraned mitochondrion can be loosely described as a large wrinkled bag packed inside of a smaller‚ unwrinkled bag. The two membranes create distinct compartments within the organelle‚ and are themselves very different in structure and in function. Two membranes contain and protect the inner parts of the chloroplast. The stroma is an area inside of the chloroplast where reactions occur and starches

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

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY AN INTRODUCTION TO RESPIRATION In this essay we will consider a few major aspects of respiration. We shall first consider the interesting history of the study of respiration before moving on to our modern understanding of respiration. We will look at the structure and function of the respiratory system including the upper and lower respiratory tracts with a note on the control system. Secondly we will consider the physiology of respiration. Thirdly we will discuss some of the major

Photosynthesis & cellular respiration are the main pathways of energy flow in living things. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants and some other organisms convert‚ light energy from the sun‚ CO2 from the air & H2O from the earth‚ into chemical energy stored in molecules like glucose. Cellular respiration is a process in which O2 is delivered to cells in an organism & metabolic process in cells leads to the production of ATP by the breakdown of organic substances. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondrion
