Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants make their own food... i.e. glucose. When they do not have light they cannot perform photosynthesis so they must use respiration to make their energy. Respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to extract energy.
Animals use respiration as their only means of getting energy.
What else can I help you with?
What is one reason that photosynthesis is important for respiration?
Photosynthesis makes the glucose molecules which are later respired.
Is mitochondria in photosynthesis or respiration?
It invoves in respiration. Specifically it is aerobic respiration
Photosynthesis and resporation are important processes in which two biogeologic cycles?
respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis and are the important processes of carbon cycle and water cycle.
Is either photosynthesis of respiration controlled by enzymes?
respiration is but photosynthesis isn't.
Is photosynthesis the opposite of respiration?
Yes. respiration is the opposite reaction of photosynthesis.
What is reverse of photosynthesis cellular respiration?
The reverse of photosynthesis is cellular respiration.
Why isit important for the planet that the processes of respiration and photosynthesis stay in balance?
It is important for these two processes to stay balanced because they both require each other. Respiration requires the sugars and O2 produced from photosynthesis while photosynthesis requires the H2O and CO2 produced from respiration. Look at the diagram below in order to see how it works out.
What is true of the role of carbohydrates in photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Carbohydrates are made in photosynthesis. it is burning in the cellular respiration.
Why photosynthesis and respiration are important?
Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants make their own food... i.e. glucose. When they do not have light they cannot perform photosynthesis so they must use respiration to make their energy. Respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to extract energy. Animals use respiration as their only means of getting energy.
Why plant cells undergo both photosynthesis and respiration?
Yes. They use photosynthesis to produce sugar from sunlight, and cellular respiration to digest the sugar for energy (ATP).
Do earthworms perform photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
They perform cellular respiration but not photosynthesis.
What is the link between respiration and photosynthesis?
the carbon dioxide emitted during respiration is used in photosynthesis
