Photosynthesis is the process of turning carbon dioxide and water (using light) into energy and oxygen. This process happen in autotrophic cells during the day. At night they go through respiration where they turn oxygen into carbon dioxide.

How are the end-products of photosynthesis utilized by the plant itself?

Glucose is the product of photosynthesis and oxygen is the by product of the photosynthesis. And are used in the process of photo respiration.

What gas is required to start stage 3 of photosynthesis?

Oxygen is used where as in photo-respiration Carbon dioxide is used. Oxygen used in photosynthesis comes out as carbon dioxide as a bi-product.


Where pothosynthesis and cellular respiration occur?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, while cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of both plant and animal cells. Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration breaks down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP, with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.


What is the photo part of the process?

Cellular respiration


What compound is released in cellular respiration?

Oxygen (O2) is released by photosynthesis during the light reaction and is used in cellular respiration. Photo. = Light energy + CO2 + Water -----> Carbohydrate + O2 Resp. = Carbohydrate + O2 -----> Energy + CO2 + Water


How does the equation for cellular respiration compare with the equation for photosynthesis?

The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. The equation for photosynthesis is 6H2O + 6CO2 + Light Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Cellular respiration does not require light energy, and photosynthesis does.


What is the rootword of photosynthesis?

The root word of photosynthesis is "photo," which means light in Greek.


What are differences between photo synthesis and cellular respiration?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight into energy in the form of glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. Cellular respiration, on the other hand, is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Photosynthesis occurs in chlorophyll-containing organisms, while cellular respiration occurs in all living cells.


Does chloroplast make cellular respiration?

No,it has no role in cellular respiration.But it takes part in photo respiration.


What does photo means in photo synthesis?

"Photo" in photosynthesis refers to light energy. During photosynthesis, plants use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through a series of chemical reactions.
