Premium Algae Photosynthesis Plant
The carbon and energy obtained by plants is not only dependent on photosynthesis‚ but also cellular respiration (Reddy et al. 1970). Cellular respiration‚ an array of metabolic processes‚ in plants is the oxidation of the chemical energy from acquired nutrients into energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate. In a germinating pea‚ which respires‚ the mitochondria provides cellular ATP‚ this is possible because it is utilizing stored nutrients (Stupnikova et al. 2006) In order to determine
