What organelle does photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in?
Respiration occurs in two compartments - glycolysis in the cytoplasm and the TCA cycle and electron transport chain in the mitochondria. However, cells that are actively photosynthesising do not need to respire because ATP is synthesised in the chloroplast.
What are the main similarities between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
Both cellular respiration and photosynthesis involve the production and utilization of energy in the form of ATP. They both occur in living organisms but in different cellular compartments – cellular respiration in mitochondria and photosynthesis in chloroplasts. Additionally, both processes involve redox reactions that involve the transfer of electrons.
What part of the structure of the leaf minimizes water loss?
Stomata and the thickness of the leaf
How do photosyntesis and sellular respiration complement each other?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interdependent processes in living organisms. During photosynthesis, plants produce oxygen and glucose using sunlight, while cellular respiration in plants and animals breaks down glucose to produce energy and carbon dioxide. The oxygen produced during photosynthesis is used in cellular respiration, while the carbon dioxide released during respiration is used in photosynthesis, creating a cycle that sustains life on Earth.
How do photosynthesis and cell respiration work together in the cycling of matter?
Photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose from carbon dioxide and water, while cell respiration consumes oxygen and glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy. The oxygen produced during photosynthesis is used in cell respiration, and the carbon dioxide produced in cell respiration is used in photosynthesis, creating a cycle of matter between plants and animals.
