Are cellular respiration and photosynthesis the same?

Answer 1

AnswerYes, it isIn my txt book, the headline saids 'Repiration'but it tells the info about 'Cellular Respiration'Answer

It is right because my teacher told me

and if u need the formula of respiration and photosynthesis,

here it is:

respiration

c6h12o6 + 602-> 6co2 + 6h2o + energy

Photosynthsis

6co2 + 6h2o + energy-> c6h12o6 + energy

External respiration means gas exchange between body and environment. Internal respiration means oxidation of food molecules to produce energy

Answer 2

Cellular Respiration and photosynthesis are not the same.

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water.

The process occurs in two phases:

• glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid

• the complete oxidation of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and water

Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar.

This process occurs in plants and some algae (Kingdom Protista). Plants need only light energy, CO2, and H2O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in thechloroplasts, specifically using chlorophyll, the green pigment involved in photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis takes place primarily in plant leaves, and little to none occurs in stems, etc. The parts of a typical leaf include the upper and lower epidermis, the mesophyll, the vascular bundle(s) (veins), and the stomates. The upper and lower epidermal cells do not have chloroplasts, thus photosynthesis does not occur there. They serve primarily as protection for the rest of the leaf. The stomates are holes which occur primarily in the lower epidermis and are for air exchange: they let CO2in and O2 out. The vascular bundles or veins in a leaf are part of the plant's transportation system, moving water and nutrients around the plant as needed. The mesophyll cells have chloroplasts and this is where photosynthesis occurs.

As you hopefully recall, the parts of a chloroplast include the outer and inner membranes, intermembrane space, stroma, and thylakoids stacked in grana. The chlorophyll is built into the membranes of the thylakoids.

Chlorophyll looks green because it absorbs red and blue light, making these colors unavailable to be seen by our eyes. It is the green light which is NOT absorbed that finally reaches our eyes, making chlorophyll appear green. However, it is the energy from the red and blue light that are absorbed that is, thereby, able to be used to do photosynthesis. The green light we can see is not/cannot be absorbed by the plant, and thus cannot be used to do photosynthesis.

The overall chemical reaction involved in photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy) C6H12O6 + 6O2. This is the source of the O2 we breathe, and thus, a significant factor in the concerns about deforestation.

There are two parts to photosynthesis:

The light reaction happens in the thylakoid membrane and converts light energy to chemical energy. This chemical reaction must, therefore, take place in the light. Chlorophyll and several other pigments such as beta-carotene are organized in clusters in the thylakoid membrane and are involved in the light reaction. Each of these differently-colored pigments can absorb a slightly different color of light and pass its energy to the central chlorphyll molecule to do photosynthesis. The central part of the chemical structure of a chlorophyll molecule is a porphyrin ring, which consists of several fused rings of carbon and nitrogen with a magnesium ion in the center.

Answer 3

No, because... * cellular respiration is the aerobic harvesting/ energy releasing chemical breakdown of food molecules, such as sugar and the storage of potential energy in a form that cells can use to perform work. this process involves glycolysis, citric acid cycle , the eletron transport chain and chemiosmosis. * cellular energy is the process in which cells convert stored nutrients in the cell into energy

Answer 4

It is definitely the same thing because they both involve oxygen

Answer 5

For the most part, but photosynthesis requires sun energy, whereas cellular respiration gives off energy in the form of ATP

Answer 6

Inhalation and exhalation are not the same as cellular respiration.
