Respiration is the break down of sugars. In plants, sugars are produced through photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, plants would not have the sugar to break down in respiration.
In general, green plants photosynthesize during the day or when light is on the leaves, and respire at night, or in the dark. As its name implies, photosynthesis is a light dependent process.
Because the main fuel of cellular respiration, glucose, ultimately is produced by plants that preform photosynthesis. Even carnivorous heterotrophs, metabolizing protein and lipids, must depend on herbivores eating the plants directly.
Respiration is dependant on photosynthesis in one major way. Photosynthesis is where plants use carbon dioxide and water to make oxygen and sugar. Cellular Respiration (how we breathe) requires glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Therefore photosynthesis is required for respiration because without photosynthesis, no oxygen would be created, which means we would have no oxygen to use for our own respiration (breathing).
CO2 is liberated from respiration. This is used in photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis and Respiration both occurs and plants and both produces oxygen.
Photosynthesis is how plants breathe, respiration is how we breathe.
respiration
carbondioxide.
Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis that is used by plants and animals for respiration.
No, not all living things perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Plants, algae, and some bacteria perform photosynthesis, while most organisms, including plants, animals, and bacteria, perform respiration to generate energy.
Cellular Respiration Relationship In plants, plants use the outputs of photosynthesis (sugar, oxygen) as the inputs of cellular respiration. They then use the outputs of cellular respiration as the inputs of photosynthesis. It is a cycle.
No, both photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in plants as well as in other organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and animals. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to produce energy, while cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down glucose and produce ATP for energy.
