Calvin cycle
carbon cycle
In photosynthesis, plants use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy (ATP) that cells can use for various functions. Together, photosynthesis and cellular respiration form a continuous cycle where plants produce glucose through photosynthesis, which is then used in cellular respiration to release energy for cells.
Plants make ATP through cellular respiration. Photosynthesis, which requires sunlight, does not make ATP - but glucose - which is then converted to ATP by cellular respiration. Therefore plants still need respiration to make ATP.
Cellular respiration likely evolved before photosynthesis. Early prokaryotic organisms likely developed cellular respiration to generate energy from organic molecules. Photosynthesis evolved later in some prokaryotic organisms as a way to use sunlight to make energy.
Photosynthesis uses light energy to make ATP from carbon dioxide and water while cellular respiration makes carbon dioxide while using glucose to make ATP. The CO2 is used by the plants while animals make CO2.
Photosynthesis make glucose molecules and store energy. Respiration break up and release energy
The main point of photosynthesis is to make Glucose for the plant to use in cellular respiration which will produce ATP for the plant cell to use to power its cellular activities.
Mitochondria are needed for cellular respiration however photosynthesis uses chloroplasts. Photosynthesis uses sunlight (chloroplasts) + CO2 and water to make glucose and O2. The mitochondria use the O2 and glucose to make ATP and heat plus CO2 and water.
The statement is misleading because both plants and animals perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Plants perform photosynthesis to produce energy, while animals perform cellular respiration to break down energy-rich molecules and release energy.
No. Nitrogen is required to make proteins (which DO the photosynthesis & the respiration), but is not classed as part of the cycles.
During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water (CO2+H20) us the sun's energy to produce oxygen and glucose. Cellular Respiration involves using oxygen and glucose to make carbon dioxide water and ATP. They are constantly working together even if you don't realize it. :)
In photosynthesis, you're essentially taking CO2 and energy to make oxygen. In cellular respiration, you're taking oxygen to form CO2 and energy.
