Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Produces glucose and oxygen, key products used in cellular respiration.
- Chemical reaction converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
- Plants generate glucose through this process, enabling them to sustain energy needs independently.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) is utilized during photosynthesis but is not a product of this process.
Cellular Respiration
- Cells utilize oxygen to extract energy from glucose in this metabolic process.
- Mitochondria are the cellular organelles responsible for carrying out cellular respiration.
- ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is produced as the main energy currency during this process.
- Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of cellular respiration, contrasting its role in photosynthesis.
Interconnection
- Photosynthesis and cellular respiration form a vital cyclical relationship within ecosystems.
- Oxygen produced in photosynthesis is essential for cellular respiration, while CO2 generated in respiration fuels photosynthesis.
- Photosynthesis stores energy within glucose, while cellular respiration releases that stored energy for cellular activities.
