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.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The daughter plant is genetically similar to the parent plant. The leaf cells of the daughter plant have 24 chromosomes.

Explanation:

This is because the type of reproduction that is going on here is asexual reproduction, most likely budding. The chromosome number of the parent is going to be preserved and no sexual reproduction is going to be involved (i.e. gametes and meiosis).

ivann1987 [24]

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria

Eubacteria are the type of bacteria with which most people are familiar. They live everywhere, including inside humans and other living organisms. Eubacteria have a semi-rigid cell wall that contains peptidoglycan, a tight-knit 

Fungi

Most fungal species are multicellular organisms that live on land rather than in water. Yeast and molds are examples of fungi. Like algae, fungi possess cell walls. Unlike algae cell walls, fungal cell walls contain chitin rather than cellulose. 

And also plantae and animalia

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The area between 200 and 1,000 meters (656 and 3,280 feet) is the mesopelagic or “twilight” zone.

Explanation:

Light intensity in this zone is severely reduced with increasing depth, so light penetration is minimal. About 20 percent of primary production from the surface falls down to the mesopelagic zone.

DNA, Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is the empirical proof of God.

DNA can never be created naturalistically and is absolutely uniquely structured:

1. DNA contains multiple levels of coded organically constructed information that controls all cellular functions and no natural process is capable of creating or coding.

2. The amino acids that provide the coding fo the genetic information are homochiral. The few, not all, amino acids that can form naturally are not symmetric and are either left-handed or right-handed, called racemic. All amino acids in DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, ribosomes and other cellular assemblies are left-handed, 100%. No right-handed amino acid can function within DNA. Nature may produce a partial list of racemic amino acids, but cannot produce homochiral amino acids, again, only produced within a cell.

3. Phosphate penta-sugars provide the overall dual backplane physical structure to allow the amino acids to be affixed and are all right-handed homochiral, not produced in nature and exclusively right-handed.
