An autotroph such as a photosynthetic cell produces it's own food. Once produced through photosynthesis, the food needs to be used as in cellular respiration. Hetertroph, such as animals do not produce their own food. They must consume the food produced by the autotrophs or consume the heterotrophs that have consumed the food produced by the autotrophs.

How are the processes of aerobic respiration and photosynthesis interrelated?

Aerobic respiration and photosynthesis are interrelated because they are complementary processes. Photosynthesis in plants produces oxygen and glucose using sunlight, while aerobic respiration in animals and plants uses oxygen and glucose to produce energy, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Essentially, the oxygen and glucose produced during photosynthesis are used as inputs for aerobic respiration, and the carbon dioxide produced during respiration is used as an input for photosynthesis.


What would happen if oxygen were not produced during photosynthesis?

Well, darling, if oxygen decided to take a day off during photosynthesis, we'd all be in a world of hurt. You see, oxygen is kind of a big deal for us living creatures - we need it to breathe and survive. Without oxygen being produced during photosynthesis, we'd be gasping for air faster than you can say "photosynthesis."


What process photosynthesis or aerobic respiration your body use to get the energy for running or riding a bike?

Your body uses aerobic respiration to produce energy for activities like running or biking. During aerobic respiration, cells use oxygen to break down glucose into ATP, the energy currency of the cell. This process occurs in the mitochondria of cells and provides the energy needed for muscle contractions and movement.


If an eukaryotic cell is doing anaerobic respiration how many food molecules would it need to process the same amount of energy as it would using aerobic cellular respiration?

If the cell is performing anaerobic respiration, this is called fermentation. Fermentation produces a net gain of two ATP molecules and uses two molecules of glucose (food). Aerobic respiration known as cellular respiration produces a net gain of 38 ATP molecules.


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
