When most people think of respiration, they think of breathing. This is a very basic understanding of the term. Actually, respiration refers to a living creature's exchange of gases with its surroundings. In the animal kingdom, this means the intake of oxygen and output of carbon dioxide. This has all to do with a process known as cellular respiration, by which the individual cells of the living body use oxygen as part of a chemical reaction wherein glucose (sugar) is converted into a chemical known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which can then be used to power the continuous functioning of the cell. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of this. But for cellular respiration to begin, two functions must first occur: external and internal respiration.

∙ 13y agophotosynthesis-The chemical process by which green plants make organic compounds from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight. Since virtually all other forms of life are directly or indirectly dependent on green plants for food, photosynthesis is the basis for all life on earth.
it is related to respiration by the fact that both produce energy usable by the cell.

∙ 12y agoRespiration is a chemical process which converts sugar and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy in the process.
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy
The oxygen comes from the air that we breathe when we inhale (respire). The oxygen is dissolved in the blood and taken away for respiration in the cells of the body.
From a scientific view, respiration (the process) and inhaling are not the same, but are linked in animals.
But oftentimes respiring is used as a direct synonym for inhaling, which can lead to confusion.

∙ 11y agoThe way they do this is by a process called photosynthesis.
Think:
H12+CO2=O2
In other words,
Glucose + Carbon Dioxide = Oxygen

Compare and contrast the functions of photosynthesis and respiration. Explain the relationship between the processes.?
photosynthesis and respiration are linked because they both involve the exchange of the gases; oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What is the process that does the opposite to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.
What are the names of the products of cellular respiration?
the products of cellular respiration are carbon dioxide
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related to the carbon cycle?
Photosynthesis : Uses CO2 and releases O2 into the air. Respiration: Uses O2 and releases CO2 into the air. If you look at the equations of photosynthesis and respiration they are the exact reverse of each other.
Where does the carbon dioxide come from in cellular respiration?
The breakdown of glucose to carbon dioxide and water occurs during glycolysis and aerobic respiration in cellular respiration. The carbon dioxide is a waste product.
What process in an organism is linked to the carbon cycle but not the nitrogen cycle?
Respiration in an organism is linked to the carbon cycle but not the nitrogen cycle.
Compare and contrast the functions of photosynthesis and respiration. Explain the relationship between the processes.?
photosynthesis and respiration are linked because they both involve the exchange of the gases; oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What 2 processess that occur in plants help move carbon and oxygen though an ecosystem?
photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis produces oxygen and take up carbon, while respiration in plant mitochondria takes up oxygen and produce carbon (meaning CO2 from metabolism of sugars etc; CO2 is not produced by respiration but it is very closely linked to CO2 production.)
How many carbon atoms go into respiration?
Carbon dioxide participate in respiration. Carbon dioxide has i carbon atom. So 1 carbon atoms go into respiration.
The products of respiration are energy and carbon dioxide and?
the products of respiration are energy,carbon dioxide,and
What is the process that does the opposite to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.
Differences between anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration?
Aerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria with oxygen. Glucose + Oxygen --> Energy + Water + Carbon Dioxide Anaerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria without the presence of oxygen. Glucose -- > Energy + Carbon Dioxide -----by vigneshsherlekar Aerobic Respiration is a respiration of a bacteria with oxygen.

Carbon Dioxide
Organic molecules are linked by what bonds?
They are linked together by Carbon to Carbon bonds.
