Similarities Between Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells get their energy in the form of ATP. There are two types of cellular respiration, aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration is more efficient and can be used in the presence of oxygen. Aerobic respiration, or cell respiration using oxygen, uses the end product of glycolysis in the TCA cycle to produce more energy currency in the form of ATP than can be obtained from an anaerobic pathway.

Cellular respiration is the chemical process in which organic molecules, such as sugars, are broken down in the cell to produce utilizable energy in the form of ATP. ATP is the chemical used by all of the energy-consuming metabolic activities of the cell. In order to extract energy from these organic molecules, cellular respiration involves a network of metabolic pathways dedicated to this task.

Organisms are complex and use energy to function, grow, and reproduce. Organisms get this energy from photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants harness sunlight to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water1. Photosynthesis provides glucose for cellular respiration. Glucose is the reactant for cellular respiration. Cellular respiration has complex stages, where the glucose molecule is slowly broken down. The formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 ⇢ 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy.

The Cellular respiration and photosynthesis form a critical cycle of energy and matter that supports the continued existence of life on earth. Describe the stages of cellular respiration and photosynthesis and their interaction and interdependence including raw materials, products, and amount of ATP or glucose produced during each phase. How is each linked to specific organelles within the eukaryotic cell? What has been the importance and significance of these processes and their cyclic interaction to the evolution and diversity of life?

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.

Photosynthesis is the process of producing glucose, as for Cellular respiration is the process of breaking that glucose down in order to produce and release the energy stored in photosynthesis. Both of these processes create ATP (energy), photosynthesis and cellular respiration both function as a circle – the first using CO2 and releasing O2, while the other uses O2 and releases CO2. Another reason that both processes are complementary is because they entail the same components of H2O, energy, CO2, O2 and glucose, but the reactions are opposite to each other as explained above. (Mader, 2009)

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis also have another major difference, in that cellular respiration is catabolic (breaking down glucose molecules and occurs in the cytosol, where glycolysis makes a glucose molecule into a pyruvate),

Also, unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration is known as a decomposition reaction. During this reaction, the exergonic release of energy is produced by breaking glucose down into smaller ATP molecules, water and carbon dioxide which is released into the air, for use by plants, every time we exhale

    Cellular respiration is the group metabolic reactions that happen in the cell of living organism that creates adenosine triphosphate, ATP, from biochemical energy. The formula for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 +6O26CO2+6H2O+ATP.  This formula means glucose and oxygen are turned into water,carbon dioxide and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) energy through chemical reactions. Cellular respiration occurs in all cells which allows them to grow. Raphanus raphanistrum subsp. Sativus seed, also known as radish seed, undergo cellular respiration because they are not yet able to perform photosynthesis, which is how plants create their energy. Hymenoptera formicidae,commonly known as ants, undergo cellular respiration to produce the energy they need to live.

Respiration exchange of gases (inhales oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide) while cellular respiration cells use oxygen to breakdown fuel releasing carbon dioxide as a waste product.

When comparing photosynthesis and cellular respiration in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells you must first understand what the two are and why they are important. Photo meaning light and synthesis meaning making. So, photosynthesis is converting sunlight into a chemical energy source. Mostly to obtain energy is its main purpose, but there is a formula to follow when dealing with photosynthesis. The formula is carbon dioxide plus water with the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight reacting to glucose giving you glucose, water, and oxygen.

Photosynthesis and respiration are reactions that complement each other in the environment. In reality, they are the same reactions, but they occur in reverse. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen. Through the respiration process, glucose and oxygen yield carbon dioxide and water. They work well because living organisms supply plants with carbon dioxide, which undergoes photosynthesis and produces glucose, and these plants and bacteria give out oxygen, which all living organisms need for respiration.

The metabolic process of cellular respiration and photosynthesis recycle the oxygen that is being used. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis go together well because the reactants of one is the product of the other. Photosynthesis makes energy for plant life by taking in carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight energy. It then produces glucose, and oxygen. Oxygen is the waste product in this cycle because the plant has no need for it.

Cellular respiration is a process that happens in all living eukaryotic cells. What cellular respiration does is turn food often carbohydrates into energy for our bodies. Cellular respiration starts with a carbohydrates sugar called glucose. What it does is alter and break down the six carbon molecule glucose and altering it creating two three carbon molecules called pyruvic acids in an anaerobic process called glycolosis (Cellular respiration). What this process does is create two ATP molecules which are basically molecules which provide energy to run all cellular processes in our bodies (king). However, from here in the process can turn aerobic, meaning using oxygen if present or anaerobic meaning when oxygen is not present in a

     Photosynthesis has a two-stage performance before plants produce the two products they are known to produce. These stages are Photosystem I and II. Photosystem II is dependant on light reactions for energy which causes the electrons to be react and be transferred to Photosystem II. The electrons are transported through the Photosystem II electron transport system, however some energy is used to drive ATP synthesis. Meanwhile, light is being absorbed by the Photosystem I, which causes the electrons to react. This process sends the electrons to the Photosystem I transport system where some energy is released as electrons travel through the electron transport system and is captured as NADPH. When this process is completed oxygen is released from the plant and glucose has been
