Why is photosynthesis so important to animals?

one of the ways in which photsynthesis is vital to animals is that CO2 is recycled into oxygen. Without this recycling process there would be less oxygen for animals to undertake respiration.


Can cellular respiration happen without photosynthesis?

Yes, cellular respiration can occur without photosynthesis. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells generate energy from food molecules, while photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy. Organisms like animals rely on cellular respiration to produce energy without needing photosynthesis.


Does respiration and photosynthesis both occur in all living things?

No, not all living things perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Plants, algae, and some bacteria perform photosynthesis, while most organisms, including plants, animals, and bacteria, perform respiration to generate energy.


Why is it important that the processes of respiration and photosynthesis stay in balance?

Respiration and photosynthesis are interconnected processes that rely on each other. Photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose, which are essential for respiration to occur. Respiration, in turn, produces carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis. Keeping these processes balanced ensures a stable level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is crucial for the survival of plants, animals, and other organisms.


Does photosynthesis or cellular respiration only occur in plants?

No, both photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in plants as well as in other organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and animals. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to produce energy, while cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down glucose and produce ATP for energy.

What gas used by both plants and animals is a product of photosynthesis?

Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis that is used by plants and animals for respiration.


Why do animals owe their existence to the presence of chlorophyll?

Chlorophyll traps energy for photosynthesis and in photosynthesis oxygen is released that is used by animals for their respiration.


Do animals perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

No, animals do not perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria to produce energy from sunlight. Animals, on the other hand, rely on cellular respiration to produce energy by breaking down organic molecules such as glucose.


A by-product of photosynthesis which is necessary for respiration is?

Respiration is the reverse process of photosynthesis.Respiration:C6H12O6 + H2O --> CO2 + H2OPhotosynthesis:CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + H2OTherefore, both products of photosynthesis are needed for respiration to occur.


Do photosynthesis occur in plants and animals?

Photosynthesis only occurs in plants, on the leaves, to produce nutrients for it. Animals all respire, which is effectively the opposite of respiration.


Does respiration occur in plant or animal?

In both. In plants they use photosynthesis during the day and at night they use cellular respiration because there is no sun to produce the energy needed with photosynthesis. In animals they only use cellular respiration.


A waste product of respiration in animals that is used by plants to carry out photosynthesis is?

Carbon dioxide :)


What is the name of the process that animals use to release energy?

Respiration; It is a part of Photosynthesis in plants


Why are the product of the light reactions of photosynthesis important?

O2 is the byproduct. animals using it for respiration.


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.


Is mitochondria in photosynthesis or respiration?

It invoves in respiration. Specifically it is aerobic respiration


Why photosynthesis and respiration are important?

Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants make their own food... i.e. glucose. When they do not have light they cannot perform photosynthesis so they must use respiration to make their energy. Respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to extract energy. Animals use respiration as their only means of getting energy.
