What are the 5 main differences between respiration and photosynthesis?
94116
1. respiration is for animals, and phtosynthesis is for vegetals, bacteria and algae.\n\n2. We (animals) use respiration because our cells need a process called gas exchange ( we take Oxygen from the air and exchange it in our cells for carbon dioxide)\n\n3. This is possible for us because our cells have organs called mitocondria, while vegetal cells have chloroplasts.\n\n4.Photosynthesis is an important biochemical process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria harness the energy of sunlight to produce food. Ultimately, nearly all living things depend on energy produced from photosynthesis for their nourishment, making it vital to life on Earth. It is also responsible for producing the oxygen that makes up a large portion of the Earth's atmosphere. Organisms that produce energy through photosynthesis are called photoautotrophs. Half of all photosynthesis comes not from plants, but from bacteria and algae.\n\nResìration involves the use of developed organs such as lungs.\n\n5. Photosynthesis produces energy from sun light, while\nrespiration produces energy from the Oxygen present in pur atmospheric air.

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 :)

Animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Green plants are the only plants that produce oxygen and make food, which is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis means ''putting together with light.'' This takes place in chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. From sunlight, green plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. Green plants use sugar to make starch, fats, and proteins. There are tiny pores called stomota. Oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and leave through the stomata.\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/3715/photo3.html\n\nImportance of Photosynthesis\n\nAnimals and plants both synthesize fats and proteins from carbohydrates; thus glucose is a basic energy source for all living organisms. The oxygen released (with water vapor, in transpiration) as a photosynthetic byproduct, principally of phytoplankton, provides most of the atmospheric oxygen vital to respiration in plants and animals, and animals in turn produce carbon dioxide necessary to plants. Photosynthesis can therefore be considered the ultimate source of life for nearly all plants and animals by providing the source of energy that drives all their metabolic processes.

Oxygen is made as a result of photosynthesis only.\n\nGlucose is also made as a result of photosynthesis.\n(Or due to the breakdown of fats, or complex sugars.)\n\nCarbon Dioxide is produced as a result of cellular respiration.\n\nThe source of energy released from glucose is the bond energy between the carbons in the molecule and the reductive properties of the electrons in the bond.\n\nCellular respiration occurs is parts.\n\nGlycolysis occurs in the cell cytoplasm (cytosol).  The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.\nThe electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation occurs at the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

Respiration is the exchange of waste products produced during metabolism for the molecules necessary to keep metabolism functioning.  In humans, respiration exchanges CO2 and H20 for O2.  In plants, O2 is the waste product, along with water, while CO2 is the compound that is required to drive all of its metabolic reactions.

Cellular respiration is the exact opposite to photosynthesis:\n\nPhotosynthesis & Cellular Respiration:\n6 CO2 + 6 H2O <-----> C6H12O6 + 6 O2\n\nThe forward direction is photosynthesis and the reserve direction is cellular respiration. Plants use photosynthesis to produce glucose which it uses for energy and stores it. Cellular respiration is used by animals to break down glucose and release energy. It should be noted that photosynthesis requires sunlight and chlorophyll for the above reaction but cellular respiration does not require anything else.

Photosynthesis is the process that all green plants use to convert water and nutrients with the aid of chlorophyll\nand energy from sunlight into food(glucose).\nrespiration is only part of the process that allows all living things(including plants) to produce energy via andosine triphosphate breakdown to grow, move and reproduce. respiration is the process of transporting air(oxygen)into the body to allow breakdown of food into energy and waste products\ngirl, you need more confidence in yourself.\ni don't have a major in biology, infact i only have what you call high school education.\nsome people may want to fool you.\nGod bless,\ngabe\nps, algae is a plant, it may be single celled , but still a plant.

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.

Both speed up at high temperatures and slow down at low temperatures. Photosynthesis does have a maximum cutoff temperature (usually 30 C in temperate plants and I think 40 C in tropical C4 plants).

Photosynthesis is an important biochemical process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert the energy of sunlight to chemical energy. The chemical energy is used to drive synthetic reactions such as the formaton of sugars or the fixation of nitrogen into amino acids, the building blocks for protein synthesis. Ultimately, nearly all living things depend on energy produced from photosynthesis for their nourishment, making it vital to life on Earth. It is also responsible for producing the oxygen that makes up a large portion of the Earth's atmosphere. Organisms that produce energy through photosynthesis are called photoautotrophs. Plants are the most visible representatives of photoautotrophs, but it should be emphasized that bacteria and algae also contribute to the conversion of free energy into usable energy.

the equations of cellular respiration and photosynthesis are related because they are the converses of each other. cellular respiration is oxygen and glucose equaling carbon dioxide, water and energy. photosynthesis is when energy, water, and carbon dioxide equal oxygen and glucose. photosynthesis needs cellular respiration and cellular respiration needs photosynthesis.

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.

photosyntheses is the way plants make food. the plants make their food by getting sun, water and carbon dioxide and then the plant uses the carbon dioxide (which we breathe out) and lets out oxygen , without any plants we would run out of oxygen.
