1. It is exothermic, not endothermic (it releases energy rather than storing it)

2. It is catabolic, not anabolic (it breaks down larger molecules into simpler ones, rather than building them)

In what ways is fermentation similar to cellular respiration?

Fermentation and cellular respiration are similar in that they both involve the breakdown of molecules to produce energy for cells. However, fermentation does not require oxygen, while cellular respiration does. Both processes also produce waste products, such as lactic acid in fermentation and carbon dioxide in cellular respiration.


Comparing and contrasting photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

2 ways alike:both photosynthesis and respiration occur in organelles of plant cells.both involve the flow of electrons through the cell membrane in order to harvest energy.2 ways they are different:Respiration produces energy, where as Photosynthesis requires energyPhotosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, respiration takes place in mitochondriaSources:AnswerYahoo&Chris FTWBest answer 40%10 answersMember Since:December 10, 2009Total Points:178 (Level 1)Points earned this week:0 Add to My ContactsBlock UserBest Answer - Chosen by Voters2 ways alike:


What are the 3 ways to measure cellular respiration?

Measure ATP production, carbon dioxide production, and oxygen use For one molecule of glucose, you will get the most ATP if using cellular respiration as opposed to just glycolysis More carbon dioxide will be produced if using cellular respiration


How are aerobic respiration and photosynthesis are related?

They can be thought of as the 'reverse' of each other (though their repective biochemical pathways are in no ways similar) and are the two halves of the carbon cycle. Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide + Water -> Glucose +Oxygen


What are two ways a cell can get energy from food?

Cells can release energy in two basic processes: Cellular respiration and fermentation. Cellular respiration requires oxygen but fermentation does not. Cellular respiration releases MUCH more usable energy then fermentation does.

In what ways are cellular respiration and photosynthesis different?

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are fundamentally different processes that serve opposite functions. Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria, converting light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, using carbon dioxide and water while releasing oxygen. In contrast, cellular respiration occurs in the cells of all living organisms, breaking down glucose to produce ATP (energy) while consuming oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide and water. Essentially, photosynthesis captures energy, while cellular respiration releases it.


In what way is photosynthesis and cellular respiration interdependent processes?

the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis requires CO2 (carbon dioxide) organisms that are heterotrophs, like us, which cannot produce their own food consume autotrophs like plants, which do produce their own food. a by-product of cellular respiration is CO2 a by-product of photosynthesis is O2 organisms like us need O2 to live organisms like plants need CO2 to live (and to support us in life--we eat them because they have sugar [i.e., glucose])


How do the process s of photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to one another?

Energy produced in photosynthesis is put into usable form through cellular respiration. They are both ways cells gain energy. In photosynthesis, cells use solar energy to produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. In cellular respiration, cells make ATP (which is used as energy by the cells) and consume oxygen during the conversion of glucose to carbon dioxide and water.

Can you reverse photosynthesis and get respiration in cells?

Respiration and photosynthesis are two seoarate processes, so reversing photosynthesis would not give you respiration. However the two processes are in some ways the reverse of each other. Photosynthesis uses CO2 and produces O2. Respiration uses O2 and produces CO2.


What are ways that poisons can interfere with cellular respiration?

Poisons can interfere with cellular respiration by disrupting the electron transport chain, which is essential for generating ATP. They can inhibit enzymes involved in respiration, such as cytochrome c oxidase. Some poisons can also block the uptake of oxygen by cells, leading to a decrease in respiration.
