Homeostasis and Thermodynamics of Metabolic Pathways:

Metabolism is a largely circular process of energy conversion in cells of living organisms. Chemical energy is extracted from nutrients (catabolism) and this energy is in turn used to synthesize new molecules (anabolism) from the same type of nutrients to maintain the structure and function of an organism. To accomplish both, say energy extraction from and biosynthesis of proteins, metabolism of living cells is a spatial and temporal network of chemical reactions close to, but never at chemical equilibrium. Living organisms maintain a state of metabolic homeostasis which can be viewed as a steady-state throughput or flow of energy and metabolites to sustain body functions and structures.

Respiration and photosynthesis are catalytically possible only because of the coordinated activity of hundreds of proteins that belong to deferent sets of pathways in different compartments of cells and/or organisms. Understanding the structural and functional complexity that provides reductive synthesis of glucose as well as oxidative degradation is the same as understanding the mechanism of cellular metabolism.

Does night and day affect cellular respiration in a plant?

No, respiration is continuous. Photosynthesis stops at night, as it is light dependent.


Is mitochondria in photosynthesis or respiration?

It invoves in respiration. Specifically it is aerobic respiration


What is light energy and what does it do for cellular respiration?

Light energy does not affect respiration, but it is needed for photosynthesis, which in plants creates the chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that are oxidized in cellular respiration.
