ATP and ADP are energy molecules (adenosine triphosphate and adenosine diphosphate, respectively). In ATP there are 3 phosphate groups, hence triphosphate. When you break off one of those phosphates you release energy, and it becomes adenosine diphosphate. Adding one will store energy in it. Therefore ATP and ADP provide energy to help start processes in cell respiration by providing energy. Same with photosynthesis. ATP releases a phosphate group in order to help carry out some of the parts of photosynthesis.

The metabolism of glucose when oxygen is presented is called?
cellular respiration
What product of photosynthesis is needed by both plants and other organisms for cellular respiration?
The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen. Oxygen is used in cellular respiration.
How does the chemical equation for cellular respiration relate to that of photosynthesis?
Because the end products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the requirement to start cellular respiration.
How is cellular resperation related to photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis uses light water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose. The glucose produced is then used, with oxygen, in cellular respiration to produce ATP. Chemical Equations Photosynthesis 6CO2+6H2O ------> C6H12O6+6O2 Cellular Respiration C6H12O6+6O2 ------> 6CO2+6H2O+38 ATP NOTE *Plants use photosynthesis and cellular respiration. *Animals just use the glucose they obtain from food to perform cellular respiration. *This is the formula for aerobic cellular respiration not anaerobic which doesn't use oxygen and produces lactic acid in humans.
What is process in which glucose and oxygen react in cells to release energy is called?
Its either Photosynthesis or cellular respiration
Why does cellular respiration depend on photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
What substance is a product of cellular respiration and a reactant in photosynthesis?
Glucose is a product of photosynthesis and a reactant in cellular respiration.
How do cellular respiration and photosynthesis make glucose?
isn't glucose a product of photosynthesis??!
What is the difference between photosynthesis in chloroplasts and cellular respiration in mitochondria?
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
How do the products of photosynthesis help cellular respiration occur?
Cellular respiration is using glucose. The main product of photosynthesis.
How do the processed of photosynthesis and cellular respiration work together?
Photosynthesis provides glucose and oxygen in order for cellular respiration to occur.
How do the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration work togther?
Photosynthesis provides glucose and oxygen in order for cellular respiration to occur.
What do i do with this glucose?
How do photosynthesis and cellular respiration transform energy
Could photosynthesis happen without cellular respiration?
No, because photosynthesis makes Glucose and cellular respiration breaks down the glucose into Carbon Dioxide and H20 (Water
The difference between photosynthesis in chloroplasts and cellular respiration in the mitochondria?
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
What happens to glucose after photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is used to produce glucose. Then cellular respiration is used to turn the glucose into ATP.
The metabolism of glucose when oxygen is presented is called?
cellular respiration
