No, humans don't carry out photosynthesis. But, they do carry out cellular respiration.

Humans carry cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Humans carry out cellular respiration to generate ATP for energy production. Photosynthesis is a process performed by plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert sunlight into energy. Humans cannot perform photosynthesis as we lack the necessary organelles, such as chloroplasts.


Can an organism carry out cellular respiration without photosynthesis how about photosynthesis without cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is possible without photosynthesis in an organism but photosynthesis is not possible without cellular respiration.


When do green plants carry on respiration?

both photosynthesis and cellular respiration occurs during the day, however, during the night when there is no sunlight only cellular respiration occurs.


What is organelle that carry out cellular Respiration an photosynthesis?

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are processes carried out in separate organelles within the cell. Cellular respiration occurs within mitochondria present in all living cells - both plant and animal. Photosynthesis occurs within the chloroplasts of plant cells only.


Do autotrophs need to carry out cellular respiration Why or why not?

Yes, autotrophs need to carry out cellular respiration to convert the energy stored in glucose, produced during photosynthesis, into a usable form (ATP). While they generate their own food, the energy from photosynthesis is not directly usable for cellular processes; cellular respiration breaks down glucose to release energy for growth, reproduction, and maintenance. Therefore, even autotrophs require cellular respiration to sustain their metabolic activities.

Do humans carry out the process of cellular respiration?

Yes - cellular respiration is a process carried out in every living cell.


Do the reactions of photosynthesis occur in the mitochondria?

No. Mitochondria carry out cellular respiration. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts.


Do plants cells or animal cells carry out cellular respiration?

Yes. Plants and animals need energy. Energy must therefore be made in the cells.No, only animal cells carry on cellular respiration.animal cells carryon cellular respiration. plant cells carry out photosynthesis which is the opposite of respiration.

Do plants carry out cellular respiration and why?

Yes, plants do use energy to carry out cellular respiration, but this is only during investment stages. There is a net increase of energy through the process of cellular respiration, as it is the same process that occurs in all other eukaryotic life.

If plants have chloroplasts which enable them to carry out photosynthesis, why do they have a mitochondria. Answer must include an explanation of what the products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are?

Mitochondrion release ATP energy in the food they are provided using cellular respiration, while Chloroplasts use photosynthesis to create glucose.

Do trees plants mushrooms deer dogs and humans perform cellular respiration?

Yes, trees, plants, mushrooms, deer, dogs, and humans all perform cellular respiration, although the processes may vary slightly among them. Cellular respiration is essential for converting glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP), which is vital for all living organisms. While plants and trees also carry out photosynthesis to produce glucose, they still rely on cellular respiration to utilize that energy. Mushrooms, deer, dogs, and humans primarily obtain energy through cellular respiration by consuming organic matter.


Does plants are able to carry out photosynthesis because they contain the organelle knows as a mitochondrion?

No, plants carry out photosynthesis because they contain chloroplasts, not mitochondria. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, while mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration.
