Life on Earth depends on a balance of photosynthesis and respiration.

The cycle of photosynthesis and respiration maintains the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen on earth. Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water. While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried through our blood to all our cells. In our cells, oxygen allows cellular respiration to proceed. Cellular respiration works best in the presence of oxygen. Without oxygen, much less ATP would be produced.

What effect does plate tectonics have in organic evolution???

Rama09 [41]

It affects organic evolution because it may tend to shift land masses and as a result, it would change the climate of the area as well. The adaptations animals may have, in the past, had changed to a hot/cold climate and might no longer be needed and the animals will need to evolve further in order to survive successfully.

Hope I helped! :)
