All organisms on earth depend on photosynthesis‚ in which light energy is used to make sugar and other food molecules from carbon dioxide and water. For example‚ plants and other photo-synthesizers need only energy from sunlight‚ carbon dioxide from air‚ and water from the soil to make the sugar glucose. Photosynthesis is the most important chemical process on earth because it provides food for virtually all organisms‚ not only for photo-synthesizers but for the organisms that eat them. Plants can

Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the main pathways of energy transportation in organisms. However‚ the reactants and the products are exact opposites in photosynthesis and in cellular respiration. In photosynthesis‚ cells take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) by absorbing energy from the sun‚ and then the cells release oxygen (O2) and store glucose (C6H12O6). The formula of photosynthesis is: Light energy 6CO2+6H2O → C6H12O6+6O2

Balloon Respiration Lab Introduction/ Background Cellular respiration is a process that releases chemical energy from glucose and other carbon-based molecules to produce ATP when oxygen is present. The formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6+ 6O2= 6CO2= 6H2O. The process of respiration contains three main parts‚ glycolysis‚ Krebs cycle‚ and the Electron Transport Chain. The process of glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm and is considered an anaerobic process which splits glucose into two

the process of photosynthesis works. A Real-world application for this includes the harvesting of clean energy sources‚ as scientific advances have led the way to artificial photosynthesis on the path to replace fossil fuels (Nath‚ 237). Photosynthesis converts light received from the sun into chemical energy known as ATP. Visible light is absorbed by the pigments found in plants. Carbon dioxide and water synthesizes into glucose and oxygen. By doing so‚ the metabolic activity of cells is powered. It

The purpose of this lab was to investigate whether veins affect photosynthesis rate. It was predicted that having veins would decrease the rate because chloroplast might be less frequent due to the vascular tissue. For this experiment‚ 4 groups were set up: veins and no veins in CO2 solution‚ and veins and no veins in distilled water‚ the distilled water groups served as controls. These 4 groups were placed under a light bulb in order for photosynthesis to occur. No disks experience movement in the

Cellular respiration is the process that mainly important in our daily life and supply energy to your body. The main purpose is to turn food into usable chemical energy called ATP. Your body can use ATP as a source of energy to function. Cellular respiration is also the procedure by which cells in plants and creatures separate sugar and transform it into energy‚ which is then used to perform work at the cell level. The reason for cell breath is straightforward: it gives cells the vitality they have

Cellular Respiration vs. Photosynthesis To obtain energy needed for life‚ organisms depend on the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Though they share the same function of changing energy from one form to another‚ there are many differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis in regard to the input and output molecules‚ energetics‚ cellular location‚ and ecological importance. The chemical equations of cellular respiration and photosynthesis are opposites. The
