Glucose is the main basic energy storage molecule. It is also the basis for many other compounds, like the cell wall, and starch that is made during photosynthesis.
The process of photosynthesis doesn't require glucose. Photosynthesis is the process of plants converting carbon dioxide from the air and water to usable energy (in the form of glucose), with oxygen as a waste product. The word equation for it is as follows:
carbon dioxide + water -------------------------------------------> glucose + oxygen
chlorophyll
sunlight
(6CO2+6H2O+light energy=C6H12O6+6O2)
The words chlorophyll and sunlight are written underneath the equation because they are the conditions that are required for photosynthesis to take place. Energy is provided by the sun, and chlorophyll is the green chemical within the leaf where photosynthesis takes place.
Photosynthesis takes place at its fastest during warm, sunny days when there is plenty of sunlight, presuming the soil is moist. Photosynthesis does not occur at night when there is no sunlight.

What is the production of ATP in photosynthesis called?
Glycolysis produces ATP in plants to power cellular processes. Photosynthesis harnesses the energy from the sun and stores it in glucose molecules.
Which part of cellualar respiration breaks down glucose into pyruvate?
Glycolysis is the part of cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and is the first step in generating ATP from glucose.
Which part of cellular respiration breaks down glucose into pyruate?
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway within cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate. This process takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and generates ATP and NADH as energy molecules.
What one of these stages occurs in the cytosol of the cell?
Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell. It is the metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP.
NADH is produced during?
NADH is produced during glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. It is a reducing agent that carries high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain to produce ATP.
What reactions do photosynthesis and glycolysis have in common?
Both photosynthesis and glycolysis are processes that involve the conversion of energy: photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose), while glycolysis converts glucose into usable energy in the form of ATP. Both processes involve a series of biochemical reactions that occur in different cellular compartments (chloroplasts for photosynthesis and cytoplasm for glycolysis). Additionally, both processes are essential for the survival of cells, as they provide the energy needed for cellular functions.
What is the name for the second stage of photosynthesis in which energy is stored in glucose?
That would be Glycolysis.
What metabolic stage is part of both fermentation and cellular respiration?
glycolysis
Where in the cell does the glycolysis part cellular respiration occur?
Glycolysis occurs in Cytosol.
What process involves photosynthesis and respiration?
A plant uses photosynthesis to create food (glucose) and respiration(glycolysis) to break down the food it has made.
How does Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum relates to cellular respiration or photosynthesis?
The smooth ER is functioned to slpit glucose apart in a process called Glycolysis. The splitting of glucose is part of cellular respiration.
Part of cell respiration occurring in the cytoplasm?
Glycolysis.
What part of cellular respiration occurs first?
glycolysis
Why is NADH such a integral part of Glycolysis and Fermentation?
because it is
Is CO2 used in glycolysis?
No, CO2 is not directly involved in glycolysis. Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose into pyruvate, which can then be used in other pathways for energy production. Although CO2 does play a role in other metabolic processes in the cell, it is not a part of the glycolysis pathway.
What occurs in the first part of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis is the first part of respiration in the cytoplasm.
What part of respiration breaks down glucose into pyruvate?
glycolysis
