Yes, plants perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. During photosynthesis, they convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen. However, for their metabolic processes and to release energy from glucose, plants also undergo cellular respiration, which occurs in their mitochondria. This process is essential for growth, reproduction, and other vital functions, especially at night when photosynthesis cannot occur.

Hire are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are related since they both need each other to work. Both are in autotrophs, both use the electron transport chain, and they use the same equation.


Where in the cell does cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

They use both but under different circumstances. During the day, they use photosynthesis. During the night, since there is no sunlight, they have to use cellular respiration to produce energy.


Do plants photosynthesize or cellular respirate?

This is kind of a guess, but I would say photosynthesis since some of the first organisms on earth were bacteria that did photosynthesis.


Is photosynthesis responsible for atmospheric CO2?

Photosynthesis is responsible for lowering the levels of atmospheric CO2 since it is a requirement to make glucose. Cellular respiration produces CO2 as a by-product, so it is responsible for some atmospheric CO2.


Which function would be performed durning respiration in a plant but not in a human?

The process of photosynthesis occurs in plants during respiration, involving the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This function is not performed in humans since we are unable to carry out photosynthesis like plants.


What happens to a plant in the dark?

Since plants conduct photosynthesis during the day, the glucose which they make during the day or when the sun is present is used in cellular respiration during the night. In addition, the energy they have stored during the day is just used for survival at night.


How would a loss of chlorophyll most likely affect cellular respiration in plant cells?

less glucose would be available for energy production.


Why is oxygen an important kind of gas?

Oxygen is important to us because almost all forms of life on earth use oxygen in cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a reaction that takes glucose (a compound derived from food, originally constructed by plants in photosyntesis) and oxygen and creates water, carbon dioxide and releases a significant amount of energy. That energy is what allows the cell to do whatever it does. If those cells stop working, so does the thing they collectively are, be that thing a person, another type of animal, a plant, a fungus, protist, or bacteria. Oxygen is actually produced as a waste byproduct in some reactions. Many of the bacteria that do not consume oxygen are actually oxygen producers. In the last billion or so years, plants have largely replaced bacteria as oxygen producers, since more oxygen is released during photosynthesis than is used by the plant's cellular respiration (this also results in a net reduction in carbon dioxide by the plant, since it consumes more carbon dioxide in photosynthesis than it produces in cellular respiration.)


What is the importance of photosynthesis to all living things?

Green plants are one of the only living things that produce their own food (algae which are protists and cyanobacteria also photosynthesize). Photosynthesis is when the energy from sunlight is combined with chlorophyll to form sugar. This is how plants feed themselves and how we get energy when we eat plants. Without photosynthesis, all of the energy from the sun would be wasted, and there wouldn't be living things. Also the importance of photosynthesis to all living things would defntly be the making of oxygen. living things need oxygen, and sense photosynthesis can produce that in plants it makes the process very important to "living" things.


What is the connection between the battle of marathon and a marathon race?

In a battle of marathon, you need photosynthesis. In a running race, you need cellular respiration. In order for the correct equation to occur, you must balance the equation BEFORE you calculate surface area. However, since the products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration, you can just use sig figs before plugging it into y=mx+b. M is for mitochondria which is the powerhouse of the cell.


What happened when you placed Elodea at the light compensation point?

When Elodea is at the light compensation point, the rate of photosynthesis matches the rate of respiration. This means that the amount of oxygen being produced through photosynthesis is equal to the amount being consumed through respiration, resulting in no net change in oxygen levels in the water.


What can be said about the effect of temperature on the cellular respiration of crickets?

Yes. Cellular respiration produces ATP, which crickets need so survive, since it is the main way energy is stored in living things. If crickets could not carry out cellular respiration, they would not be alive.
