Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Relationship

455 Words2 Pages

The relationship between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration is that the reactants on photosynthesis are the products to cellular respiration, and the products of photosynthesis are the reactant. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while cellular respiration puts it back into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere, and cellular respiration uses that oxygen to release energy from food. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis differ because they occur in different places and they do different things. Cellular respiration is the breakdown of glucose to release stored energy for a cell to use. The formula for respiration is C6H12O6 (Glucose)+6O2 (Oxygen) in the presences of enzymes → 6CO2 (Carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (Water)+ ATP (Energy). ATP is Adenosine Triphosphate. Respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and the …show more content…

starches) and oxygen as a waste product. The formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) + 6H2O (Water) in the presents of sunlight and chlorophyll → C6H12O6 (Glucose)+ O2 (Oxygen). In order for photosynthesis to occur the plants have to have energy from sunlight and chlorophyll. The rates of photosynthesis are affected by the amount of water, temperature, and the intensity of sunlight. Just like respiration, photosynthesis has two phases but they do different things. The first phase is the Light Phase where chlorophyll absorbs red, blue, violet light (energy) to produce ATP for the dark phase and to split H20 into hydrogen and oxygen. The light phase can only occur when light is present. The second phase is the Dark Phase also known as the Calvin Cycle. In this phase it uses the ATP produced from the light phase to join atmospheric CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) to the H2 (Hydrogen) to make C6H12O6

    In this experiment the rate of cellular respiration was measured by the amount of CO2 in ppm per gram of substance produced by a given treatment group or the control over the course of ten minutes. CO2 levels were measured using a CO2 sensor. The sensor was given time to warm up then placed in a glass chamber with a sample from one of the treatment groups or a sample of control. CO2 levels in ppm were collected every four seconds for ten minutes by the sensor. The data was divided by the weight of the sample used to generate it, to give the respiration rate per gram of sample.

    Cellular respiration can be measured by the consumption of oxygen, the consumption of carbon dioxide, and the release of energy during cellular respiration. Within the experiment conducted, the relative volume of O2 consumed was measured into different temperatures within germinating and nongerminating peas, (DeStefano). Fluids and gas flow from regions of high-pressure to regions of low-pressure this carbon dioxide produced during cellular respiration will be removed by potassium hydroxide and will form a solid potassium carbonate. Due to the removal of carbon dioxide, the change in the volume of gas in the respirometer will be directly related to the amount of oxygen consumed. In this experiment using a respirometer, the scientists were able to measure the amount of oxygen being consumed in relation to how quickly the peas were respiring.

    Because carbon dioxide is absorbed by the plant during photosynthesis less carbon dioxide present in the chamber is a sign that photosynthesis is working. The four lights used for this experiment range across the light spectrum on both sides in order to test a wider variety of wavelengths. All lights will be placed directly on the spinach leaf at the same distance so as not to give any spinach leaf a different light intensity, which could affect the data. This experiment will be able to show which light, ranging across the light spectrum, will allow the Spinach to perform photosynthesis more efficiently.

    Many organisms use energy to perform their cellular functions. That energy comes from the energy that is stored in food then converted to adenosine triphosphate or ATP. ATP can be obtained with or without oxygen, aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide (CO2) as a by-product while anaerobic respiration produces Ethanol (C2H6O) or Lactic acid (C3H6O3). In aerobic respiration the “CO2 produced during cellular respiration can combine with water to produce carbonic acid.”

    photosynthesis and cellular respiration are extremely important in the cycle of energy to sustain life simply because nutrients would not metabolize in a productive manner. Both have numerous stages in which the process of energy occurs, and relationships with organelles located in the eukaryotic cell. Photosynthesis is a process by which green plant and other organism manufacture their food using sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water while cellular respiration is the oxidation of organic compounds that occurs within cells, producing energy for cellular processes. Photosynthesis occurs within organelles called chloroplasts. These organelles can absorb light, and are located inside of leaves.

This was to simulate the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to transfer energy from the organic molecules in food to ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate). Glucose, CO2, and yeast (used as a catalyst in this experiment) are a few of the many vital components that contribute to cellular respiration.

    Then, tests are performed to determine if the products of aerobic and anaerobic respiration are present in the flasks. The citric acid cycle consists of a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the form of ATP (Biology). The tests detect the presence of carbon dioxide and ethanol. Carbon dioxide should be present irrespective of the type of respiration taking place, but ethanol is present only if fermentation has occurred. Another factor that can indicate whether fermentation occurred or cellular respiration occurred is the amount of glucose utilized during incubation.
