What would happen if oxygen were not produced during photosynthesis?
If oxygen were not produced during photosynthesis then organisms could not perform cellular respiration. This means that they couldn't produce carbon dioxide which would make the plants unable to undergo photosynthesis.
What is the purpose of the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP isn't created during the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis merely creates glucose, which is afterwards consumed to create the ATP. This ATP, however, serves the purpose all ATP does in the body: energy that the cell can use.
What food is made by photosynthesis?
The plant food which is made by photosynthesis is called starch. This is usually in form of glucose which is used for purposes of respiration.
What allows glucose molecules into cell?
Gluconeogenesis, the production of glucose, occurs only in the liver and the kidney cortex. The process begins in the mitochondria, but a majority of the biosynthetic reactions take place in the cytoplasm. The ultimate metabolite of the pathway produces glucose 6 phosphate, which is transported into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and converted into glucose via the enzyme Glucose 6 Phosphatase. (Glucose is maintained as Glucose 6 phosphate to prevent it escaping from the cell.)
Why does a plant produce sugar?
The plant produces sugar during the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis. This is part of the "dark reactions" in the stroma, which reduce CO2 to C6H12O6, or glucose (simple carbohydrate). The Calvin Cycle is also known as the "Sugar Factory" of the plant.
Why is Photosynthesis important in the plant cell?
It produces glucose for use in all life processes .
What cell function produces the opposite result of photosynthesis?
That is the respiration. It breaks down glucose.
Is mitochondria responsible for converting sunlight into energy for the cell?
No, they are not. In a plant cell, it is the chloroplasts that use sunlight to produce glucose during photosynthesis. The glucose produced is used by the mitochondria during aerobic respiration, the process which produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy-carrier molecule.
Is mitochondria responsible for converting sunlight into energy for cell?
No, they are not. In a plant cell, it is the chloroplasts that use sunlight to produce glucose during photosynthesis. The glucose produced is used by the mitochondria during aerobic respiration, the process which produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy-carrier molecule.
What produces the bulk of a cell's ATP?
Most of the cell's ATP is produced in the mitochondria.
What does the choloroplast do for a cell?
Chloroplast is the site of photosynthesis. It produces glucose using CO2 and water.It also conuct photorespiration and produce some enzymes
Is glucose during photosynthesis?
During the light independent stage, some GALP (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate) molecules exit the chloroplast. They can be converted into glucose in the plant cell cytoplasm.
Where is glucose during photosynthesis?
During the light independent stage, some GALP (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate) molecules exit the chloroplast. They can be converted into glucose in the plant cell cytoplasm.
How are cell respiration and photosynthesis connected?
cell respiration consumes oxygen and sugars and produces CO2, photosynthesis consumes CO2 and produces oxygen and sugars
What is the function of a choloroplasts?
It makes food for the plant cell. Also only in the plant cell.
What would happen if oxygen were not produced during photosynthesis?
If oxygen were not produced during photosynthesis then organisms could not perform cellular respiration. This means that they couldn't produce carbon dioxide which would make the plants unable to undergo photosynthesis.
Where is glucose stored after plant plant has made glucose during photosynthesis?
Glucose is typically stored in starch molecules after photosynthesis. A large amount of glucose will make its way to the roots to be stored in starch nodules there. Glucose is also an essential part of plant growth. It provides energy but also forms the cellulose needed for cell walls.
