Photosynthesis and Respiration

The relationship between photosynthesis and cell respiration makes the product of one system reactant of another system. Photosynthesis involves the use of energy from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Cell respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. To further emphasize this, the equation of photosynthesis is the opposite of cell respiration.

Humans, animals and plants rely on cycle of cell respiration and photosynthesis to survive. Oxygen produced by plants during photosynthesis is the process by which humans and animals suck blood and transport them to the cell for breathing. Carbon dioxide produced during respiration is released from the body and absorbed by plants, which helps to supply the energy needed for growth and development. This is an endless cycle to sustain life on Earth.

Plants and other photosynthetic organisms use photosynthesis to produce energy, but the cell respiration process breaks down the energy used. Despite the differences between the two processes, there are some similarities. For example, both processes synthesize and use energy currency ATP.

Energy acquisition, conversion, preservation - Light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy and stored in glucose binding

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, whereas mitochondria are the sites of the clev cycle and the electron transport chain (ETC).

The pyruvate oxidized-pyruvate molecule is decomposed into acetyl-CoA (2-carbon compound) and produces CO2

Kreb Circuit - Acetyl CoA combines with four carbon molecules to form six citric acid carbon molecules for NADH, CO 2, FADH 2 and ATP.

Electron Transfer Chain - The energy stored in NADH and FADH 2 during the Krebs cycle is used to generate ATP, water, NAD + and FAD

The cycle of photosynthesis and respiration keeps the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis produces oxygen to supplement the oxygen consumed by living things during breathing. Carbon dioxide generated during breathing is one of the reactants necessary for plant photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are all part of mutually beneficial relationships. Without photosynthesis cell respiration will not occur Without help from partners photosynthesis will never happen.

Photosynthesis and respiration are complementary processes with changes in carbon. During photosynthesis plants absorb carbon from the atmosphere and plants and other organisms release carbon into the atmosphere during breathing. However, please do not think that carbon cycle will be formed only by photosynthesis and respiration. As shown in the table on the previous page, the carbon cycle contains more processes than photosynthesis and respiration. Science discovery: How do scientists study carbon cycle? Scientists use isotopes as markers to track the movement of carbon atoms through the carbocycle. Isotopes are atoms of the same element of different mass. They can have the same number of protons, but they can have different numbers of neutrons. The difference in the number of neutrons makes the quality of isotopes different. Carbon has three isotopes. Carbon 12 has six neutrons and is the lightest isotope. Carbon-13 has seven neutrons

The cycle of photosynthesis and respiration keeps the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis produces oxygen to supplement the oxygen consumed by living things during breathing. Carbon dioxide generated during breathing is one of the reactants necessary for plant photosynthesis.

It is very interesting how photosynthesis and cellular respiration help each other. During photosynthesis plants need carbon dioxide and water - both are released into the air during breathing. During breathing, plants need oxygen and glucose, and both are produced through photosynthesis! So to some extent, photosynthetic products support respiration, and respiratory products support photosynthesis and form cycles. Plants can complete this cycle on their own, but animals can not. Animals can not carry out photosynthesis. This means that animals must breathe to survive. In addition, our animals can not produce glucose themselves, so we have to get glucose from other places, ie edible plants. We produce the necessary carbon dioxide for plants, they produce the necessary oxygen and then eat them to get the necessary glucose. It seems that plants are necessary more than necessary.
