ATP
In photosynthesis, molecules like glucose, fructose, and starch contain carbon. In respiration, molecules such as glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids also contain carbon.
The counterpart to photosynthesis is cellular respiration. In cellular respiration, organisms (including plants) break down organic molecules to release energy, carbon dioxide, and water. This process is the opposite of photosynthesis and is essential for the survival of living organisms.
Cellular respiration likely evolved before photosynthesis. Early prokaryotic organisms likely developed cellular respiration to generate energy from organic molecules. Photosynthesis evolved later in some prokaryotic organisms as a way to use sunlight to make energy.
Chlorophyll is the plant pigment involved in photosynthesis, not respiration. In respiration, plants use a different pigment called carotenoids to help capture light energy for energy production.
Photosynthesis takes the energy from sunlight and uses it to put together large sugar molecules from the raw ingredients CO2 and H2O. Cellular respiration occurs when organisms break down large sugar molecules to use the energy to do work and release the waste products CO2 and H2O
In photosynthesis, molecules like glucose, fructose, and starch contain carbon. In respiration, molecules such as glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids also contain carbon.
Photosynthesis produces ATP molecules using light energy to convert CO2 and H2O into glucose and oxygen. Respiration breaks down glucose to produce ATP molecules, using oxygen and releasing CO2 and H2O as byproducts. This forms a cycle where ATP molecules are produced in photosynthesis and used up in respiration, illustrating their interdependent relationship in cellular energy production.
No, respiration itself does not require pigment molecules. Respiration is the process by which cells generate energy from nutrients. Pigment molecules are mainly involved in processes such as photosynthesis or oxygen transport.
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
Photosynthesis makes the glucose molecules which are later respired.
The antonym for cellular respiration is photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants and other organisms convert sunlight into energy. While cellular respiration releases energy by breaking down food molecules, photosynthesis uses energy to build food molecules.
Photosynthesis make glucose molecules and store energy. Respiration break up and release energy
Photosynthesis or respiration.
respiration is the process of breaking down food molecules in order to release energy for work while the photosynthesis is the food making process in plants.
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
