Best Answer

No it does not. Respiration gets its energy from ATP(produced in photosynthesis when electrons travel through the electron transport chain)

What process is cellular respiration sort of the reverse of?

Cellular respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP. Photosynthesis uses sunlight as an energy source and produces oxygen and water.


What source dose photosynthesis produce energy?

Photosynthesis uses sunlight as a source to package energy into glucose, and essentially all energy from the sunlight is factored into the monosaccharide, so in a sense glucose is part sunlight.


Why plant can perform both photosynthesis and respiration?

Photosynthesis uses, water + carbon Dioxide in the presence of sunlight for energy, to convert the reactants into Oxygen and Glucose. Without sunlight at night time, plants use stored energy from the day, but when incapable of supplying more energy, revert to respiration to breathe.


What does respiration do with the energy?

It uses it


Which type of respiration uses oxygen?

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen it is main source of energy in nearly all multicellular organisms and many unicellular animals.


Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from and what part of the plant pigments are involved in photosynthesis?

The energy for photosynthesis comes from respiration. The plant takes in oxygen and uses it for energy with in its cells. The chloroplast have a green substance called chlorophyll which absorbes the light needed for photosynthesis. the reaction happens there. Unfortunately the previous answer is not quite right. The ultimate source of energy for photosynthesis is sunlight. Plants convert the light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which they can then use as a source of energy in their cells. Energy is released from glucose by respiration.


What metabolic process uses sunlight for energy?

The metabolic process that uses sunlight for energy is photosynthesis. This sunlight is used to make sugars for the plant to use.


What are the general characteristics of a plant?

A living organism which uses sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple carbohydrates.


Does a plant only require the correct chemicals to make plant food?

No. A plant also uses sunlight, an external source of energy.


Do cellular respiration needs sunlight?

Yes they definitely do because through respiration they break down the food made by photosynthesis to obtain energy and energy is needed all the time. so respiration is carried out all the day and is not affected by the presence or absence of light although photosynthesis only occurs in the presence of light.


Where does photosynthesis its energy?

the sunLight energy is obtained. It uses this energy for photosynthesis


How are glycolysis and oxidative respiration different?

Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate and releases energy to create ATP. Oxidative respiration uses the oxidation of nutrients, or the loss of electrons in the molecule, as the source of energy to make the ATP. Both create the same thing, but the difference lies in the source of the energy.
