How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration connected as a cycle?

Answer:

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. ... Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Answer:

Photosynthesis is when energy, carbon dioxide and water react to produce glucose and oxygen. It is an endothermic reaction (takes in more energy than it gives off).

glucose  +  oxygen  + (energy)  →  carbon dioxide  +  water

C 6 H 12 O 6  +  6 O 2  →  6 CO 2  +  6 H 2 O

Respiration is the process of producing energy from glucose. It uses glucose and oxygen to give water, carbon dioxide and energy (thus making it exothermic).

carbon dioxide   +  water  +  energy  →  glucose  +  oxygen  

6 CO 2  +  6 H 2 O  →  C 6 H 12 O 6  +  6 O 2

As you can see from the equations, they are essentially the reverse of each other.

Another difference is how they are used. Respiration occurs in the mitochondria of all living cells, whereas only plants photosynthesize.

In plants, they make their own glucose using the sun's energy, then respire to allow them to use the glucose for the energy they can use. The glucose can also be stored and used in many other ways other than in respiration.

Answer:

The Calvin cycle is a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, the food autotrophs need to grow.

Every living thing on Earth depends on the Calvin cycle. Plants depend on the Calvin cycle for energy and food. Other organisms, including herbivores, also depend on it indirectly because they depend on plants for food. Even organisms that eat other organisms, such as carnivores, depend on the Calvin cycle. Without it, they wouldn't have the food, energy, and nutrients they need to survive.

The Calvin cycle has four main steps: carbon fixation, reduction phase, carbohydrate formation, and regeneration phase. Energy to fuel chemical reactions in this sugar-generating process is provided by ATP and NADPH, chemical compounds which contain the energy plants have captured from sunlight.

What are some similarities of sponges and cnidarians
Svetlanka [38]

Similarities:

They contain nematocyst (cells that sting)  

some are sessil/free swimming  

Some corals have a symbiotic relationship with algae, they need to grow in shallow waters so that light can penetrate for the algae to photosynthesize.
