Is respiration performed by organisms that are incapable of photosynthesis?

The short answer is yes. These processes are both performed by photosynthetic plants. However, they perform opposite functions. While photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water create glucose and oxygen, in respiration, glucose and oxygen produce carbon dioxide and water.

Why is photosynthesis important for respiration?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the processes by which plant and animal cells produce energy, allowing them to function and stay alive.
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related(apex)?
Thus, during photosynthesis a plant consumes water, carbon dioxide, and light energy, and produces glucose and oxygen. The sugar glucose is important because it is necessary for cellular respiration.
What is the process that photoautotrophic producers perform that is not performed by other organisms in most ecosystem's?
Autotrophs, which are plants and such, use a process called Photosynthesis to gain energy. Photosynthesis is a two-phase anabolic pathway in which the Sun's light energy is converted to chemical energy for use by the cell.
What is cellular respiration performed by?
All living things are capable of anerobic respiration to some extent. It happens when there is insufficent oxygen to the task at hand. For instance when you work-out at the gym and get sore muscles - the soreness is (in part) due to the presence of Latic Acid in you, a by-product of anerobic respiration. Some organisms use anaerobic respiration exclusively: decomposing bacteria and fungi.
What are five processes or products in which either respiration or photosynthesis is controlled and used to benefit mankind?
1. In a controlled photosynthesis pond algae can be used to break down organic wastes. 2. Cultivating algae to produce biofuel. 3. Carbon dioxide mitigation through controlled photosynthesis. 4. Surgery for the treatment of gas gangrene is performed under conditions of hyperbaric oxygen because the organisms causing it are anaerobic. Antibiotics and oxygen combine to kill them more effectively than antibiotics alone because they live only in the absence of oxygen. 5. Polymixins are antibiotics that work by inhibiting bacterial respiration. 6. Other classes of drugs work by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation in aerobic bacteria.
What are photosynthesis and cellular respiration performed by?
Chloroplasts and mitochondria respectively
What is a life function performed by all living organisms that are nutrition and respiration?
it's the same
Why is photosynthesis important for respiration?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the processes by which plant and animal cells produce energy, allowing them to function and stay alive.
When is cellular respiration performed?
cellular respiration is preformed when the cells need to obtain energy from glucose.
Do bobcats go through photosynthesis?
No, bobcats do not go through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process performed by plants and some other organisms that convert sunlight into energy. Bobcats, as mammals, obtain energy by consuming other organisms, such as smaller mammals, birds, and reptiles.

Do plants need light to respire?
No, in fact most respiration plants perform occurs at night. There is a form with sunlight, called photorespiration, but its performed rarely as photosynthesis is more common.

How do the process s of photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to one another?
Energy produced in photosynthesis is put into usable form through cellular respiration. They are both ways cells gain energy. In photosynthesis, cells use solar energy to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. In cellular respiration, cells make ATP (which is used as energy by the cells) and consume oxygen during the conversion of glucose to carbon dioxide and water.
What is respiration performed by?
Cells [in the body or other living organism(s)]. Cellular respiration.
Where is photosynthesis performed at in a plant cell?
in the chloroplast
