The study of artificial selection by Darwin helped him to establish his theory of evolution via natural selection. One of the animals Darwin examined in detail was the domestic rock pigeon. In the 1850s breeding of pigeons was an ancient past time, thus, Darwin decided to keep and breed the pigeons by himself.  

While studying pigeons, Darwin established scrupulous determinations of their skeletons and wondered at the breeds' distinct colors, behaviors, and proportions. He also observed the patterns of inheritance of various features, and he demonstrated that birds of very distinct breeds can, however, generate fertile offspring. Thus, supporting the theory that they all originated from a single species.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration, look at the picture
Anika [276]

Mike discovered that the  product of cellular respiration are the raw materials  of Photosynthesis while the products of photosynthesis  served as the raw materials for cellular respiration.

He also discovered that respiration is a catabolic process while photosynthesis is an anabolic process.

Another interesting fact seen by Mike is, the respiration releases energy while photosynthesis takes in energy.

Explanation:

  • In the equation of cellular respiration , we can see that glucose and oxygen are utilized in the mitochondrion to produce  carbon dioxide , water and chemical energy in the form of ATP.
  • Glucose breaks down during cellular respiration .
  • Again if we look at the chemical equation for photosynthesis in the chloroplast, we find that Carbon dioxide,which was produced during respiration is utilized along with water in presence of light energy to give out oxygen and Sugar (glucose)
