How is respiration in plants dependent on photosynthesis?

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.


Does photosynthesis or cellular respiration use oxygen to break down molecules?

Photosynthesis is the use of sunlight to power the creation of sugars from carbon dioxide and water. Where's cellular respiration is the reaction of sugars and oxygen to create energy. Because the sugar is being broken down by the oxygen, we would consider cellular respiration to be the one that uses oxygen to break down molecules.


What is the process in which the break down of sugars in living things returns carbon to the atmosphere as co2?

Cells first undergo glycolysis, where sugars are broken down into Pyruvic Acid. That pyruvic acid is used in two forms of processes: aerobic and anaerobic respiration, which use oxygen and no oxygen respectively. Aerobic Respiration is what the human body relies on since it creates the most ATP. [:


Why do plants and animals break down sugar?

Plants do not necessarily break down sugar. They function as a major source of sugars. Animals need to break down sugars as part of aerobic respiration. Glucose is broken down into Carbon dioxide and water, and ATP is produced as the energy product.


What does salivary amylases break down?

Amylase breaks down complex sugars into simple sugars.


What does lactobacteria break down?

They break down lactose and other sugars to lactic acid


Are sugars created during aerobic respiration?

Yes, sugars are broken down during aerobic respiration to produce energy. Glucose, a common sugar molecule, is used as a fuel source and broken down through a series of biochemical reactions to generate ATP, the cell's energy currency.


Time when plants and animals conduct cell respiration?

Plant conduct cell respiration during photosynthesis during which time they release O2 into the atmosphere and absorb CO2. Animals conduct cell respiration during respiration they breath out CO2 and absorb the O2 needed to break down sugars.


What is the difference between fermentation and cellular respiration?

Fermentation is a process that breaks down sugars into energy without using oxygen, while cellular respiration is a process that breaks down sugars with the use of oxygen to produce energy.


Amylases break down starches into?

its sugars


One of the organelles in the eukaryote releases energy from sugars What is this process called?

This organelle is called the mitochondria, and the process of releasing energy from sugars is known as cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, sugars are broken down to produce ATP, the cell's main energy source.


What type of respiration that uses oxygen to break down food called?

Aerobic respiration is the type of respiration that uses oxygen to break down food molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP.
