Two more molecules of carbon dioxide and another molecule of ATP are also produced. The electron transport chain is the part of aerobic cellular respiration that produces most of the ATP. The inner membrane is the yellow structure surrounding the matrix. As a result of the electron transport chain, there are more positively charged ions on one side of the membrane than the other. Because the products of photosynthesis are required for cellular respiration, and the products of cellular respiration can be used to power photosynthesis.
Putting the chemical formulas for these processes side-by-side shows this quite clearly:. The food that plants make glucose and the waste product from producing that food O 2 give animals like us the materials we need to carry out aerobic cellular respiration.
We breathe in the oxygen from the air and either eat plants or other animals—either way, plants and their delicious glucose are at the root of our food web. In return, humans and other organisms that carry out aerobic respiration put the waste products from this process mainly CO 2 back into the atmosphere.
Plants carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They make their own food, and then break down those glucose molecules later, generating ATP to power their cellular processes. Fun fact! These organisms first produced oxygen between 2. This paved the way for oxygen-breathing animals like us to evolve later. Happy studying! Use light, water, and carbon dioxide to create food for the organism in the form of sugar glucose.
Use glucose to make a form of energy the organism can use in cellular processes ATP. Be sure to subscribe to the Visible Body Blog for more anatomy awesomeness! Are you an instructor?

Despite the differences between these two processes, there are some similarities. For example, both processes synthesize and use ATP, the energy currency.
The cycle of photosynthesis and respiration maintains the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis produces the oxygen to replenish oxygen that is used up by living organisms during respiration. Carbon dioxide produced during respiration is one of the reactants plants need to perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both part of a mutually beneficial relationship. Photosynthesis and respiration are reactions that complement each other in the environment.
They are in reality the same reactions but occurring in reverse. While in photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen , through the respiration process glucose and oxygen yield carbon dioxide and water. They work well since living organisms supply plants with carbon dioxide which undergoes photosynthesis and produces glucose and these plants and bacteria give out oxygen which all living organisms need for respiration.
Photosynthesis is a process in photoautotrophs that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds in the presence of sunlight. Respiration is the set of metabolic reactions that take in cells of living organisms that convert nutrients like sugar into ATP adenosine tri phosphate and waste products.
Processes in photosynthesis are divided on basis of requirement of sunlight while respiration processes are divided on basis of requirement of oxygen. Hence in photosynthesis you have the light dependent reactions and the dark reactions while in respiration there is aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. In photosynthesis light dependent reactions, ultra violet light strikes chlorophyll pigments which excites electrons leading to separation of oxygen molecules from carbon dioxide.
In the dark reactions, carbon molecules now independent of oxygen are converted into carbohydrates and stored in plant cells as energy and food source. In aerobic cellular respiration oxygen is utilized to convert organic compounds into energy and in anaerobic respiration converts organic compounds into energy without using oxygen. Digestion 2.
