How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis almost opposite processes?

Answer:

The product of one process is the reactant of the other and vice versa.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process whereby autotrophs e.g. plants make their own food in form of organic molecule (glucose) by combining the carbondioxide (CO2) they absorb via their stomata and water (H2O) using the energy they obtain from sunlight.

Photosynthesis uses C02 and H2O as starting materials and produce glucose and 02 as products.

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

On the other hand, organisms including this photosynthetic organisms need energy for their life processes. They obtain this energy by breaking down energy-containing organic molecules (glucose) to produce energy usable by their cells (ATP). This process is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION. Cellular respiration can occur in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) or absence of oxygen (anaerobic). The aerobic cellular respiration is depicted as follows:

C6H12O6 + 602 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Aerobic cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen as a starting material and produces C02 and water as products.

Due to this connection between photosynthesis and respiration, they are regarded as direct opposite of each other.

In the tundra, what is the difference between the biotic and abiotic factors you saw in the image?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Abiotic factors refer to non-living physical and chemical elements in the ecosystem. ... Examples of abiotic factors are water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals. Biotic factors are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem. These are obtained from the biosphere and are capable of reproduction.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

Explanation:

-Sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen.

-The muscles in his body need more energy and therefore more oxygen.

-The body has too little carbon dioxide to maintain function.

-The body is using carbon dioxide instead of oxygen to make energy.

-Blood pressure has decreased, so less blood is being pumped to the muscles.

<em>The correct answer would be that </em><em>sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen</em><em> and t</em><em>he muscles in the body of Jon need more energy and therefore, more oxygen.</em>

At sea level, the atmospheric pressure easily allow oxygen to permeate the cells of the lung and diffuse into the blood. At high altitudes, air pressure is generally lower and permeation/diffusion through the cells of the lung into the blood becomes difficult.

<u>Without adequate oxygen, the body cannot generate energy needed for physical activities of muscles. Consequently, the sensors in the brain detect a lack of oxygen and the body system reacts by breathing heavily to compensate for the oxygen shortage.</u>

Discuss 3 different types of mutations that can happen
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Un cambio en la secuencia de bases en el ADN o ARN se conoce como mutación . ¿La palabra mutación te hace pensar en ciencia ficción y monstruos con ojos de insecto? Piensa de nuevo. Todos tienen mutaciones. De hecho, la mayoría de las personas tienen decenas o hasta cientos de mutaciones en su ADN. Las mutaciones son esenciales para que ocurra la evolución. Son la fuente principal de todo el material genético nuevo -nuevos alelos - en una especie. Aunque la mayoría de las mutaciones no tienen efectos en los organismos en que ocurren, algunas mutaciones son beneficiosas. Incluso las mutaciones dañinas rara vez causan cambios drásticos en los organismos.
