In plants, photosynthesis, occurring in chloroplasts, is an anabolic (bond-building) process whereby CO2 and H2O combine with the use of light (photon) energy. This yields O2 and sugar (i.e. glucose). This occurs in 2 phases: light-dependent and dark (Calvin cycle) reactions, which both continually recycle ADP/ATP and NADP/NADPH.
The catabolic (bond-breaking) process in plants is cellular respiration, in which glucose is broken down with O2 by glycolysis (cytoplasm only) and mitochondrial reactions (Krebs cycle and E.T.C.) to yield CO2 and H2O. These reactions recycle ADP/ATP and NAD/NADH. The CO2 and water produced by cellular respiration feed into the photosynthetic processes, and in turn, the O2 and glucose resulting from photosynthesis supply the respiratory reactions.

In the space below, write a description of the connection between molecules and traits and reproduction.

blagie [28]

Answer:

A molecule of DNA is made up of two strands which are joined by the hydrogen bonds present in the nucleotide bases. The sugar and phosphate make up the backbone of the DNA. The sequence of the nucleotide bases determines the traits that an organism will carry. Genes are hereditary molecules which are made up of sections of DNA. Together, they make up the entire genome for the organism. Each gene is located on a specific place inside the chromosomes. The chromosomes are the element of reproduction as they undergo the process of meiosis and duplicate themselves.
