Describe the processes of photosynthesis and chemosynthesis?

Answer 1

The equation for respiration is:

Glucose + Oxygen ---------> Carbon Dioxide + Water (+ Energy)

The equation for photosynthesis is:

Light

Carbon Dioxide + Water ----------------> Glucose + Oxygen

Energy

So basically photosynthesis is the opposite of respiration and vise versa! :) I hope this has helped

Answer 2

photosynthesis is the process of food-making for marine organisms and plants using light energy from the sun. chemosynthesis is where organisms don't depend on the sun and photosynthesis. chemosynthesis uses sulfur and nitrogen instead of the sun to produce food.

Answer 3

Photosynthesis is the act of a plant taking in sunlight and turning it into energy right??

Well humans take in a reproducible energy too, in our case, oxygen.

So my point is : does a plant have to do much to get to sunlight? not really. same for us and O2.

Given that plants go through the night, I'm not saying they're cousins. I'm saying we both get our main energy with reproductively sources.

There fore both are not far. They are not super close either

Answer 4

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are conceptually the reverse of each other. Photosynthesis uses electromagnetic energy form the sun to form chemical bonds in molecules such as glucose. Cellular Respiration uses the bonds stored in molecules-i.e. glucose-to produce ATP, the energy "currency" of most cells. ATP has a relatively short half-life, and so it is vital to store energy in molecules (glucose, fatty acids, amino acids) that are stable in an intracellular environment.

It should be noted that plants also use cellular respiration, hydrolyzing the glucose stores they produced using photosynthesis.

In sum, photosynthesis is an anabolic mechanism while respiration is its catabolic counterpart. Both involve intracellular chemical energy.
