There are differences and similarities about the factors (carbon dioxide and light) that affect the rate of photosynthesis. They’re similar because both increase the rate of photosynthesis when there’s more of…
26. In point form list four ways in which photosynthesis and cellular respiration and interdependent. Include the specific stages and molecules for both processes in your answers. 1. The glucose formed during the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis by some G3P molecules breaking off is used to release ATP during cellular respiration.…
In this lab, we should expect changes in the rate of cellular respiration based on the available fuel source in the different seeds. We know that aerobic respiration requires oxygen gas and an organic molecule, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The goal of cellular respiration is to harvest ATP. However, the carbon dioxide can be measured using a gas sensor. Since we know that more reactants generally equals more products, more organic molecules should result in more carbon dioxide, thus, increasing the rate of cellular respiration.…
Cellular Respiration Cellular Respiration is cells making adenosine, a molecule unit of currency, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) much organic compounds. The goal of this process is break down pyruvic acid, which is a type of acid that contains carbon. In order for Cellular respiration o to occur it takes 2 steps which are Glycolysis and Aerobic Respiration. Several other types of respirations will appear throughout the essay including electron transport chain, fermentation, alcoholic and lactic fermentation. Some key components contain NADH, electrons, hydrogen, oxygen, waters and ATP.…
The role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis is that it is used by plants to create glucose and water which is what is used as food for the plant and in turn creates oxygen. After the oxygen is formed carbon dioxide is created from this oxygen and the result is water after attaching itself to hydrogen molecules to create released oxygen which allows humans and other living creatures that need oxygen, to live. This is also…
Cells in the leaves contain chloroplasts which captures energy from sunlight. Through a chemical reaction, sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are combined to produce glucose, a sugar that provides most of the energy that plants use. A byproduct of this process is oxygen, which is essential for other organisms’ survival. This entire process is called photosynthesis, in which plant cells make…
Science Fair Summary Plants need water in order to perform photosynthesis which allows the plant to grow. There are three main ingredients that is needed to make glucose, a plant's food. To begin, water is one of the three main ingredients for photosynthesis, which is how a plant makes their food. “Carbon dioxide reacts to the presence of light to produce glucose”. Sunlight is the second of three ingredients needed for photosynthesis.…
Determining The Process of Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Using Elodea and Yeast Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process to life on earth, in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to create food from oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration is when energy in food is released and converted to ATP, which is then used as chemical energy to complete tasks within a cell. This process usually requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in some areas and different in others. The purpose of both of the process is to produce energy, but they have different ways of achieving this goal.…
Introduction Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy in plants and other organisms (Reece, 2011). Photosynthesis is a redox reaction where carbon dioxide is reduced to sugar (glucose) and water is oxidized to oxygen (Reece, 2011). The reaction that occurs during photosynthesis is shown through the empirical equation CO2 + H2O → (CH2O)N + O2 (Stegenga, 2015). Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, specifically within the thylakoid and the stroma (Stegenga, 2015).…
In this experiment, the shorter the distance between the leaf discs and the light source, the higher the light intensity, thus the higher the rate of photosynthesis in the leaf discs. The theory of Photosynthesis is that it can occur in high or low light intensity. At low light intensity, where the distance is far, there will be a shortage of the product of light independent reactions. The products which decreased are NADPH2 and ATP energy. As the distance becomes shorter, meaning the light intensity increases , more products will be produced.…
Photosynthesis is a plant’s mechanism of converting sunlight and CO2 into energy in the form of organic material (Hohmann-Marriott and Blankenship 2011). Plant respiration is the process of using energy and oxygen to produce CO2 (Gonzalez-Meler et al. 2004). Almost all plants reproduce and respire, therefore it is important to know what factors could affect the rate of photosynthesis and respiration to better understand how plants function. Some research has shown that elevated CO2 concentrations may determine plant productivity by affecting plant physiological processes, and ecosystem structure and functions such as photosynthesis ( Xu et al. 1987).…
INTRODUCTION Cellular respiration is the breaking down of organic molecules by means of catabolic pathways that uses electron transport chain to produce ATP (Campbell 2011). ATP is used as energy in the synthesis of light or also known as Photosynthesis . ATP is used by photosynthetic organisms to produce their own food and also by performing cellular respiration. It needs mainly glucose and oxygen that involves the transfer of electrons in a chemical reaction.…
In eukaryotic organisms, respiration occurs to maximize ATP production; this is contrary to anaerobic respiration, which occurs during the absence of a ready supply of oxygen (mostly in prokaryotic organisms). Plants are autotrophs, meaning that the provided their own food. This is unlike animals, who need to digest other organisms for energy. Because of the autotrophic nature of plants, they perform photosynthesis and cellular respiration simultaneously.…
So, let’s begin with photosynthesis. First of all, when you split photosynthesis up into two words, they are photo (which means light) and synthesis (a combination; to put together). So basically, plants need food, but instead of waiting on people and animals to provide, they make their own. They do this by using carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.…
The carbon cycle is connected with the oxygen cycle. In the example of the oxygen cycle shown in the left hand side, you can see how oxygen is used by plants and animals. Plants are the main creator of the oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. As you can see in the picture the plant uses the sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce and release oxygen. The sheep breathes in the oxygen and then breathes out carbon dioxide which the plant needed for the process called photosynthesis and the oxygen cycle is…
