Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration processes are thought of as completely opposite. They are completely opposite processes locked in a never-ending cycle. That cycle helps maintain the Earth's atmosphere to keep the planet inhabitable by making the air breathable. The processes both have many differences between them, but they also have many similarities. They cause the perfect balance that's essential to life, as we know it. The processes help different organisms obtain energy that they need for survival either directly as an autotrophic organism or indirectly through heterotrophic organisms.
Photosynthesis used predominantly by plant, algae cells and some bacterium, but only if they’re autotrophic. …show more content…
There are anaerobic and aerobic stages and three steps within those stages. The first is the anaerobic stage takes place in the cytoplasm right outside the mitochondria, which is called Glycolysis. During which, the glucose molecule is broken down into two pyruvic acids. Then it passes the oxygen molecules and enzymes on while producing two molecules of ATP. Some microscopic organisms, like yeast and bacterium, can only use this process of respiration because they don't have the necessary components for the next the next stage in the process. It produces just enough ATP for them to live off of. When organisms can only do this the process in called fermentation. There are two types of fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation that is produced yeast, which is used by both the bakery and brewery industries. The second type of fermentation is called lactic acid, which is produced by bacterium and muscle cells. The second stage is the Aerobic stage includes the Krebs cycle (aka the Citric Acid) and the Electron Transport Chain. The Krebs cycle takes place within the cell's mitochondria; it breaks down the pyruvic acids to release carbon dioxide. The third and final step is the Electron Transport Chain where most of the ATP molecules are produced. It produces the 36 molecules of ATP (18x more than the glycolysis …show more content…
They're locked in a never-ending cycle. They have the same molecules in the same quantity; six molecules of water, carbon dioxide and oxygen and one molecule of glucose. The processes help to provide all living things' cells with energy, either in a direct way or indirect way. The organisms then release the waste products into the atmosphere. Which is constantly adding and removing both carbon dioxide and oxygen molecules of the atmosphere. Which helps maintain the original 0.004% concentration of carbon dioxide that's essential to life. The processes have to happen in the presences of specific substances to have the chemical reaction to work. The chemical reactions have many stages and steps to them. All only happen on a cellular level in the organism. The main organelles that involved in the processes have two different regions inside them. These different regions deal with the different steps in each
