What is respiration and how is carbon linked to this?

Answer 1

photosynthesis-The chemical process by which green plants make organic compounds from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight. Since virtually all other forms of life are directly or indirectly dependent on green plants for food, photosynthesis is the basis for all life on earth.

it is related to respiration by the fact that both produce energy usable by the cell.

Answer 2

When most people think of respiration, they think of breathing. This is a very basic understanding of the term. Actually, respiration refers to a living creature's exchange of gases with its surroundings. In the animal kingdom, this means the intake of oxygen and output of carbon dioxide. This has all to do with a process known as cellular respiration, by which the individual cells of the living body use oxygen as part of a chemical reaction wherein glucose (sugar) is converted into a chemical known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which can then be used to power the continuous functioning of the cell. Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of this. But for cellular respiration to begin, two functions must first occur: external and internal respiration.

Answer 3

Respiration is a chemical process which converts sugar and oxygen into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy in the process.

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy

The oxygen comes from the air that we breathe when we inhale (respire). The oxygen is dissolved in the blood and taken away for respiration in the cells of the body.

From a scientific view, respiration (the process) and inhaling are not the same, but are linked in animals.

But oftentimes respiring is used as a direct synonym for inhaling, which can lead to confusion.

Answer 4

Respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy. During respiration, carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product and is released into the air. Carbon is linked to respiration as it is a key element in the formation of glucose molecules that are broken down during the process.

Answer 5

The way they do this is by a process called photosynthesis.

Think:

H12+CO2=O2

In other words,

Glucose + Carbon Dioxide = Oxygen
