Answer:

Both are opposite cellular metabolisms; one being anabolic while the other being catabolic breaking down the products synthesized in the other (photosynthesis).

Explanation:

Both photosynthesis and respiration are cellular metabolisms intertwined in the sense that photosynthesis assembles the products of respiration while respiration on the other hand breaks down the product of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is a metabolic (anabolic) process unique to the cells of organisms called autotrophs. Autotrophs including plant have the ability, using their Chlorophyll to trap the energy from sunlight and use it to power the combination of C02 and water (H2O) to produce glucose.

6C02 + 6H2O -------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

On the other hand, all living organisms including the photosynthetic organisms themselves require energy to power their life processes. They obtain this energy by breaking down organic food molecules (glucose) in the presence or absence of oxygen to produce CO2, water and ATP (energy currency of the cell). This process is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ------> 6CO2 + 6H2O

The relationship between these two processes is that photosynthesis utilizes CO2 and H2O as reactants to produce glucose (products), while respiration uses glucose as reactant to produce CO2 and H2O (products). Hence, products of one is the reactant of the other.

<span>The link between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is an inverse relationship, both are opposites of each other. Photosynthesis is the process by which carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds from sunlight. The most frequent compound is sugar. Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria. Cellular respiration, in contrast, takes glucose (sugar) and other organic compounds oxidizing them to create carbon dioxide. Each cycle depends on one another in order for the "entire cycle" to take place. The completed cycle ensures life continues to exist on the planet. Both are necessary for living organisms.

I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

I need this in as soon as possible, any help?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The processes of diffusion in diagram A and B is that one side of the membrane is hypertonic. The other side is hypotonic. Based on this, Diagram A shows that the one space has no solute particles causing the particles to move against gradiation. The movement is shown in Diagram B. This process is used to equalize the solute particles in the solution.

2. In the diagram C, we can see that enough particals have moved over to the other side, or against the concentration gradient. The solution is now isotonic or equilibrium.

Alika [10]
I believe one needs information about the individual's Age, Weight, Height, and Gender. 
The Dietary reference intakes define the daily requirement for energy as Estimated Energy requirement. The EER is based on calculations that account for an individual's energy intake, energy expenditure, age, sex, weight, height, and physical activity level.
