..........................\nPhotosynthesis - Plants\n\nPhotosynthesis (photo=light, synthesis=putting together), generally, is the synthesis of sugar from light, carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen as a waste product. It is arguably the most important biochemical pathway known; nearly all life depends on it. It is an extremely complex process, comprised of many coordinated biochemical reactions. It occurs in higher plants, algae, some bacteria, and some protists, organisms collectively referred to as photoautotrophs.\n\nCellular respiration - animal, human(Darwin-so included), plants also when there is no light!\n\nCellular respiration is the process in which the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes. Oxidation of organic material—in a bonfire, for example—is an exothermic reaction that releases a large amount of energy rather quickly. The equation for the oxidation of glucose is:\nC6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy released (2830 kJ mol−1)\n\nIn a fire there is a massive uncontrolled release of energy as light and heat. Cellular respiration is the same process but it occurs in gradual steps that result in the conversion of the energy stored in glucose to usable chemical energy in the form of ATP. ATP is known as the universal currency because when the phosphoanhydride bonds in ATP are hydrolyzed in an exergonic reaction, the energy yield is 30kJ per mole under standard conditions. Waste products (CO2 + H2O) are released through exhaled air, sweat and urine.\n............................

Hmmm. Here goes:\n\nPlants need carbon dioxide, water and sunlight.\n\nHumans need oxygen, water and everything else.

All multicellular organisms are eukaryotes, and need their mitochondria (and chloroplasts, in some cases) to live. Mitochondria and chloroplasts used to be free-living prokaryotes.

Plants.\n\nThey breathe in CO2 and breathe out Oxygen

If you want me to use those specific terms it sounds like you're going to just copy what I write for your assignment.  I'd be happy to explain the process to you, by I'm not going to write your homework paper.\n\nThe idea is that plants produce food using energy from the sun, and all other life either directly eats plants or eats things that eat plants.  So all life (except some protists, that, like plants, can make their own food) lives on energy that the plants have harvested from the sun.\n\nI hope you already know what the laws of thermodynamics, photosynthesis, and respiration are.  If not, pay more attention in class or look them up on Wikipedia.  You should be able to figure out how to phrase the explaination in a way that uses those terms on your own.

Life proceeds on chemistry.  Consumption of carbon proteins (or photosynthesis in plants) leading to the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).  ATP, being the energy storage and transfer molecule in just about all living cells is truly the stuff of life.

Every living thing does cellular respiration, so yeah plants do it too.

Mitochondria in animal cells convert energy into forms the animal cell can use.  Chloroplasts in plant cells are necessary for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy the plant cell can use.

Oxygen is one. Plants pick up CO2 and convert it to oxygen.\nWater\nFish\nTrees

Respiration happens constantly in many organisms as the main metabolic pathway to provide the cell with ATP (chemical energy).  \n\nThe term respiration also implies that oxygen is needed (this is why your lungs and etc are called the respiratory tract).  Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the "electron transport chain" of respiration and when it accepts these electrons it forms a water (H2O) molecule\n\nRespiration is coupled with mitochondria in humans and most other eukaryotes.  In humans, mitochondria are used to create a "proton gradient" which drives ATP synthesis in the mitochondria.  Heart cells have many mitochondria for example, and this is because the heart constantly beats and requires energy.  Skeletal Muscle cells also have a decent amount of mitochondria, but when you exercise your muscles and they burn, it is because respiration is going as fast as it can, but since your cells need chemical energy, they have started to use an alternative pathway that produces lactic acid (the burn from exercise).\n\nEven bacteria like e-coli use respiration, though they do not have mitochondria, though often bacteria can live without oxygen and use different metabolic pathways in the absence of oxygen.

B) Oxygen\n\nhttp://www.aspb.org/publications/biotext/sumrys/ch12.cfm\n\nWhich is a major reason green plants are our friends!  They take in our waste gas (CO2) in the process of photosynthesis which produces THEIR waste gas, O2, which WE need.\nNow look up the word "symbiosis" as a term to describe that relationship!\n(Glycogen is produced in animals, not plants.)

i actually know this one....photosynthesis is a reaction where sunlight enters the plant and the chloroplast turns it into ATP (energy) and food for plant. co2+h2o+light=c6h12o2+o2 is the equation for photosythesis. carbon dioxide+water+light=glucose+oxygen\n\nrespiration is the exact opposite of photosynthesis. well the equation is except we replace ATP with light. ATP is the kind of energy we use. there are two types of respiration. anaerobic and aerobic. anaerobic doesnt have oxygen to happen...which then makes the muscles produce lactic acid which makes us sore when we excersise too much. and bacteria produces ethly alcohol which is the alcohol u drink. aerobic needs oxygen to carry out. and it produces either 36 or 38 ATPs i dont remember. and the more ATP (energy) u have. the better. hope that answered ur question. and im only in the ninth grade..so proud of myself. :)

When a plant (a collection of cells) metabolizes and goes through its respiration, it requires carbon dioxide. It gives off oxygen as a by-product.\n\nWhen an animal (a collection of cells also) metabolizes and goes through respiration, it requires oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide.

Probably not. The purpose of photosynthesis is to produce so much food that is not only enough for the plants use, but also there is some left over for other animals too, If plants were to perform photosynthesis at the same rate of cellular respiration, they would only produce enough food that would suffice their own needs.

both are needed for cellular respiration\n\noxygen + glucose(food)--> carbon dioxide + water+ energy

Chlorophyll it is a green photosynthetic pigment found in plants. The green absorbs the blue and red parts of the light spectrum which is used in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a chemical and energy proceses that converts sun light, water, and carbon dioxide (what humans breath out) to sugar, and sugar is what the plant uses as it's form of food.\n\nAlso this should be placed in biology category, as earth science is the study of earthquakes, the atomsphere and subjects like that. Plants is a study of biology.

Well, basically in photosynthesis, it takes in carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight (or energy). Then it is made into glucose. And after the glucose is made, cellular respiration begins. The oxygen in the water is released from the plant into breathable air. Then humans inhale the air and let out carbon dioxide. It is really a neverending process when you think about it.\n\nWhere does the plant get that water?\nWell, when you water your plants, you're giving it the water it needs for photosynthesis and cellular respiration.\n\nWhat is the extra glucose (which is food for the plant and is also known as a type of sugar) stored as?\nThe extra glucose can be stored as starch, if not eaten by the plant.\n\nI hope this has helped you!\n\n-Fulla Questions :)
