Aerobic cellular respiration and oxygenic photosynthesis are two cellular processes that have evolved in similar ways. Cellular respiration is responsible for the process of ATP‚ meanwhile oxygenic photosynthesis is the process of turning light energy into food. It is evident that both of these processes have their own reactants‚ products‚ and biochemical pathways. Both of these processes have evolved from their primitive original state‚ but it is important to understand that oxygenic photosynthesis

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration go hand in hand‚ but there are differences of the two that most people overlook. Without either of these processes though‚ the human species wouldn’t exist. Along with every other plant or animal. Photosynthesis starts off the cycle‚ with light energy being trapped within the cell and transported into the chloroplast. Water and carbon dioxide follow the similar route of the light energy and as so is collected into the chloroplast. Photosynthesis tends to take

maintain their function. In photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration energy is being produced to cycle carbon between the functions. There is the function of maintaining life‚ helping aid chemical reactions‚ using the cell to help aid reation. All of these recycling processes help creates energy that is then in return used to aid their specific function. The life processes of nutrition and respiration are related to photosynthesis and Aerobic Cellular Respiration. All organisms use material

Photosynthesis and respiration are both processes that are necessary for the survival of organisms. However‚ in numerous ways these two processes are very diverse as they are responsible for distinct necessities. Therefore they both have similarities and differences. One major difference between the two is that photosynthesis takes place completely in plants while respiration occurs equally in plants and animals. Nevertheless to understand Photosynthesis and respiration‚ we need to understand what

plant. Plants and trees cover about thirty percent of the planet’s surface‚ as stated in NASA’s Earth Observatory division. They use a process called photosynthesis‚ which allows plants to take energy from the Sun and later using it as food‚ as well as producing oxygen through the process of respiration. So how does it happen? The process of photosynthesis occurs as follows. First‚ the plant uses the sunlight and the green color in their leaves to make sugar from carbon dioxide‚ or CO2‚ which is in the

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

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

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
