Explain how respiration and photosynthesis are chemically opposite from each other

1 answer:

7 0

They are chemically opposite in that the reactants of one are the products of the other. One could not exist without the other to supply the materials.

You can look up the reactants and products in any Biology textbook. also In Photosynthesis carbon dioxide and energy is consumed to give sugar and Oxygen. 
while in Respiration oxygen and sugar is consumed to give energy and carbon dioxide is produced. 

Hence the two are opposite of each other. 

Now, since you need oxygen to respire there must be a constant supply of oxygen and plants are the source of oxygen since they produce oxygen due to photosynthesis, similarly plants need oxygen to do photosynthesis which is produced by respiration. 

Hence they both are dependent on each other HOPE IT HELP ;D

We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a 8.00 kg solid cylinder with diameter of 30.0 cm. The cylinder rotates with negligi

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

h = 16.67m

Explanation:

If the kinetic energy of the cylinder is 510J:

$Kc=510=1/2*Ic*\omega c^2$

$\omega c=\sqrt{510*2/Ic}$

Where the inertia is given by:

$Ic=1/2*m_c*R_c^2=1/2*(8)*(0.15)^2=0.0225kg.m^2$

Replacing this value:

$\omega c=106.46rad/s$

Speed of the block will therefore be:

$V_b=\omega_c*R_c=106.46*0.15=15.969m/s$

By conservation of energy:

Eo = Ef

Eo = 0

$Ef = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h$

So,

$0 = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h$

Solving for h we get:

h=16.67m

What is an atomic theory?

seraphim [82]

Answer: the theory that all matter is made up of tiny indivisible particles (atoms). According to the modern version, the atoms of each element are effectively identical, but differ from those of other elements, and unite to form compounds in fixed proportions.
