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.
2. The splitting of water during the light reactions of photosynthesis in Photosystem II produces oxygen that releases into the air as carbon dioxide. The oxygen from this is used in glycolysis which is the first stage of cellular respiration as it combines oxygen and glucose.
3. Oxygen is a by-product of photosynthesis which is used as a final electron acceptor in aerobic respiration in cellular respiration.

How can diet and exercise affect your overall rate of metabolism? Conduct additional research to answer each of the following questions in your own words (do not copy and paste from your research sources):
a. How much energy per gram is in each of the three main nutrients (fat, carbohydrate, and protein)? There are 17kJ (4 kcal) of energy per gram of carbohydrates, 17kJ (4kcal) of energy per gram of protein and 37kJ (9 kcal) of energy per gram of fat.
b. How is the intake of high-fat food related to metabolism? Consuming high-fat food can cause affect the livers metabolism and influence how the body stores body fat. Food high in unsaturated fat also can make a person more prone to developing type 2 diabetes, or develop issues with metabolizing glucose.
c. How is increasing exercise related to metabolism?
Increasing exercise increases metabolism because as you build muscle these muscle cells burn calories. These cells burn more calories than fat cells, even after exercising. Having an increased muscle tone will increase your metabolism since the muscle cells will continue to burn calories throughout the day. Although exercise will slightly increase your metabolism by replacing fat cells with muscle cells, it does not increase your basal metabolic rate, therefore individuals still need to watch their food intake to stay
