Explain how the products of cellular respiration are the reactants for photosynthsis?
912366
The products for cellular respiration are the reactants for photosynthesis, because it's an interrelated process/cycle. Plants use what we make (from respiration) to make what we need (from photosynthesis). In this way, we need plants/plankton in order to survive. Don't ask why, it's just the way that it works!- It's probably so we don't go extinct or kill all of the plants! - jk, but kinda serious at the same time!\n\nif you want a more detailed [confusing] explanation, go to: http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1988/press.html

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well!

Photosynthesis (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.

the people above are wrong the light and dark reactions are names for groups of stages of photosynthesis\n\ntwo actual stages are Kreb's sycle, Calvin's cycles (if you want the last it is electron transport)

Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. This process occurs in plants and some algae (Kingdom Protista). Plants need only light energy, CO2, and H2O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, specifically using chlorophyll, the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. \n\nPhotosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well!\n\nWe can write the overall reaction of this process as: \n\n6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O2\nMost of us don't speak chemicalese, so the above chemical equation translates as:\n\nsix molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of sugar plus six molecules of oxygen\n\n\nDiagram of a typical plant, showing the inputs and outputs of the photosynthetic process.

A leaf may be viewed as a solar collector crammed full of photosynthetic cells.\n\nThe raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf, and the products of photosynthesis, sugar and oxygen, leave the leaf.\n\n\nCross section of a leaf, showing the anatomical features important to the study of photosynthesis: stoma, guard cell, mesophyll cells, and vein. Image from Purves et al., Life: The Science of Biology, 4th Edition, by Sinauer Associates (www.sinauer.com) and WH Freeman (www.whfreeman.com), used with permission.\n\nWater enters the root and is transported up to the leaves through specialized plant cells known as xylem (pronounces zigh-lem). Land plants must guard against drying out (desiccation) and so have evolved specialized structures known as stomata to allow gas to enter and leave the leaf. Carbon dioxide cannot pass through the protective waxy layer covering the leaf (cuticle), but it can enter the leaf through an opening (the stoma; plural = stomata; Greek for hole) flanked by two guard cells. Likewise, oxygen produced during photosynthesis can only pass out of the leaf through the opened stomata. Unfortunately for the plant, while these gases are moving between the inside and outside of the leaf, a great deal water is also lost. Cottonwood trees, for example, will lose 100 gallons of water per hour during hot desert days. Carbon dioxide enters single-celled and aquatic autotrophs through no specialized structures.\nVirtually all oxygen in the atmosphere is thought to have been generated through the process of photosynthesis. Obviously, all respiring organisms (including plants) utilize this oxygen and produce CO2. Thus, photosynthesis and respiration are interlinked, with each process depending on the products of the other. The global amount of photosynthesis is on the order of a trillion kg of dry organic matter produced per day, and respiratory processes convert about the same amount of organic matter to CO2. A large part (probably the majority) of photosynthetic productivity occurs in open oceans, mostly by oxygenic prokaryotes. Without photosynthesis, the oxygen in the atmosphere would be depleted within several thousand years. It should be emphasized that plants respire just like any other higher organism, and that during the day this respiration is masked by a higher rate of photosynthesis.

It is called photosynthesis.\nThe reaction is:\n6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy)----> C6H12O6 + 6O2\n\nIn this reaction the plants convert the carbon-dioxide and water into glucose releasing oxygen.

I would say it is the leaf of a plant or the plant itself.  The leaf gives off oxygen (the waste product) during photosynthesis.\n\nOr: (I grabbed this off Wikipedia)\nphotosynthesis uses water as an electron donor which is oxidized into molecular oxygen by the absorption of a photon by the photosynthetic reaction centre.

Photosynthesis is an important biochemical process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert the energy of sunlight to chemical energy with the help of Chilorophyll.Chlorophyll is a chlorin pigment, which is structurally similar to porphyrin pigments such as heme. At the center of the porphyrin ring is a magnesium ion. This has various side chains, usually including a long phytol chain. In plant photosynthesis, incoming light is absorbed by chlorophyll and other accessory pigments in the antenna complexes of photosystem I and photosystem II. The antenna pigments are predominantly chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids; their absorption spectra are non-overlapping, this serves to broaden the specific bandwidths of light these individual compounds absorb during the process of photosynthesis.Each antenna complex has between 250 and 400 pigment molecules, and the energy they absorb is shuttled by resonance energy transfer to a specialized chlorophyll a at the reaction center of each photosystem. When either of the two chorophyll a molecules at the reaction center absorb energy, an electron is excited and transferred to an electron-acceptor molecule, leaving an electron hole in the donor chlorophyll. In a poorly-understood reaction, electrons from water molecules participate in an oxidiation reaction, where the hole from the donor chlorophyll is filled (recombined with another electron), and diatomic oxygen is produced. Resulting chemical energy originating from the initial excited electron is eventually captured in the form of ATP and NADPH, and is then ultimately used to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbohydrates. This CO2 fixation process results in the conversion (or an integrated external quantum efficiency) of 3% to 6% of the total incident solar radiation, with a theoretical maximum efficiency of 11%.

Simple one will be \nSunlight + Carbon dioxide (CO2) + Water (H2O)--> Glucose (C6H12O6) + Oxygen (O2).\nor \n6CO2 +12 H2O (light energy and chlorophyll) ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2\nRemember to use subscript whenever necessary.

Okay... basically photosynthesis has two different components, the light reaction and the dark reaction. The light reaction takes place in sunlight and involves the P680 and P700 photosystems. The light reaction also has two parts: cyclic photophosphorylation and non-cyclic photophosphorylation. Cyclic photophosphorylation produces energy needed for the reaction. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation produces NADPH and ATP for the dark reaction. In the dark reaction (or Calvin cycle) the reaction goes through a cycle and forms glucose with NADP+ and ADP being recycled back to the light reaction.

Photosynthesis consist of two major parts, the light and the dark reactions. The light reactions can be further divided into cyclic and noncylic flow. In noncylic both NADPH and ATP are produced whereas in cyclic ATP is produced in high quanties. The dark reaction require ATP to produce organic compounds from CO2 and water.

Photosynthesis uses the energy of light to make the sugar, glucose. A simple general equation for photosynthesis follows.\n\n6 CO2 + 12 H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O\nCarbon Dioxide + Water + Light energy → Glucose + Oxygen + Water\nPhotosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first phase light-dependent reactions or photosynthetic reactions (also called the Light reactions) capture the energy of light and use it to make high-energy molecules. During the second phase, the light-independent reactions (also called the Calvin-Benson Cycle, and formerly known as the Dark Reactions) use the high-energy molecules to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and make the precursors of glucose.\n\nIn the light-dependent reactions the pigment chlorophyll absorbs light and loses an electron that travels down an electron transport chain producing the high energy molecules NADPH and ATP. The chlorophyll molecule regains its electron by taking one from water, a process that releases oxygen gas.\n\nIn the Light-independent or dark reactions the enzyme RuBisCO captures CO2 from the atmosphere and in a complex process called the Calvin-Benson cycle releases 3-carbon sugars which are later combined to form glucose.\n\nPhotosynthesis may simply be defined as the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms. It is affected by its surroundings and the rate of photosynthesis is affected by the concentration of carbon dioxide, light intensity and the temperature.

7 - B.  The typical diamater of a cell is 10 micrometers.\n\n8 - A.  An enzyme is a catalyst, which means it lowers the activation energy of the reaction, causing it to proceed faster.  The enzyme may react briefly with the reactants, but is not consumed in the reaction (i.e. there's the same amount of enzyme at the end as there was before the reaction started).\n\n9 - C. Plants use energy from the sun and carbon from carbon dioxide to make glucose.  They also need water to supply electrons in an early stage of photosynthesis.\n\n10 - B.  I'm not sure "by-product" is quite the right word as it is the desired product, but ATP is the only one of those four compounds during any stage of celluar respiration.  Starch can be broken down into glucose, and glucose is the sugar that is burned during cellular respiration.  Chlorophyll is found in plants and is involved in photosynthesis, but has no role in cellular respiration.
