<span>DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic
acid. The deoxy- in the DNA is a short term for deoxyribose. The nucleic acid
molecule has three parts; sugar, phosphate and a base. The phosphate in the DNA
acts as a backbone of the molecule. It is also responsible for the DNA’s
‘double-helix’ structure. The base has four codes namely adenine, thymine,
cytosine and guanine. Adenine and thymine are bse pairs whereas cytosine and
guanine are base pairs. They are not to be interchanged. Resulting in one cause
mutation in the gene. </span>

During cellular respiration, the products produced are CO2 and H2O. This is from the addition of oxygen to the glucose or carbon components. Cellular respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis which on the other hand uses <span>CO2 and H2O to produce O2 and energy</span>
