Photosynthesis and respiration can be stated as complementary process to each other as the product of one process is used in the other process.
Plant capture energy from the sun and the following chemical reaction takes place –
CO2 + H2O + light energy = Sugars + O2
Product sugar (glucose) and oxygen is released into the atmosphere.
Now in respiration, the carbohydrate and oxygen is used to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy by organisms other than the producers (plants)
. The chemical reaction involved is shown below:
Carbohydrate (Sugar) + O2 = CO2 + H2O + energy
The carbon dioxide, water and energy released in respiration is then used by the green plants to produce carbohydrates (glucose/sugar) and oxygen.
Answer:
Homology
Explanation:
Homology refers to the presence of similar or shared body structures, body parts, gene sequences, proteins, etc. among various lineages. It represents divergent evolution of these lineages from a common ancestor.
Presence of various similar structures in human and salamander reflects the fact that these two species have shared a common ancestor during their evolution. The shared ancestry between human and salamander led to the presence of various homologous body parts and identical gene sequences in them.
The main differences between the processes are that mitosis occurs in somatic cells (diploid cells that give rise to organs and tissues), and meiosis occurs in germ cells (cells that give rise to gametes). In meiosis, only one cell division occurs, in which two daughter cells are produced.
