Light energy does not affect respiration, but it is needed for photosynthesis, which in plants creates the chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that are oxidized in cellular respiration.

Does cellular respiration or photosynthesis capture energy?

Cellular respiration release energy.Photosynthesis capture light energy.


Is light common to both cellular respiration and the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Yes, light is common to both cellular respiration and the light reactions of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, light energy is used to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. In cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is released through a series of reactions to produce ATP, and light is not directly involved in this process.


Does light affects cellular respiration in algae?

Yes, light is essential for photosynthesis in algae, which generates energy in the form of glucose. This energy is then used for cellular respiration to produce ATP, the primary energy source for cellular processes. Therefore, light indirectly affects cellular respiration in algae by providing the energy needed for metabolic activities.


Is energy released in cellular respiration?

The energy released in cellular respiration is to create ATP.


How is a forest fire an analogy of cellular respiration?

Because cellular respiration is the process by which turning ADP into ATP, while burning a fire is just a release of energy. Cellular Respiration= gaining of energy Burning a fire=losing energy.


Do autotrophs need to carry out cellular respiration?

yesAutotrophs produce glucose using sun light energy. This energy later released by respiration


When glucose is broken down during cellular respiration a product is light energy?

No,light is not emmited.Heat is mainly emmited.


How is anaerobic respiration different from cellular respiration?

Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen, while cellular respiration does. Anaerobic respiration produces less energy compared to cellular respiration.


How are equations for cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Cellular respiration is the process in which cells break down glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.


When is cellular respiration?

cellular respiration is preformed when the cells need to obtain energy from glucose.


What is the process by which the chemical energy of food molecules is released?

The first step of the process is the digestion.


How do the overall procces of cellular respiration and photosynthesis compare?

They are basically reverse reactions of the other. Photosynthesis H2O + CO2 + Energy (light) --> Sugar + O2 Cellular Respiration Sugar + O2 --> H2O + CO2 + Energy (ATP)
