Energy from the sun enters a plant and is converted into glucose during photosynthesis. Some of the energy is used to make ATP in the mitochondria during cellular respiration, and some is lost to the environment as heat.
The four substances recycled during photosynthesis and respiration are: carbon dioxide (CO2), which is emitted as waste in cellular respiration and used by plants to make glucose, oxygen (O2), which is emitted as waste by plants and taken in by animals to allow cellular respiration to proceed, glucose (C6H12O6), which ...
The correct answer as to how heat is involved in photosynthesis and respiration would be that it is not needed. In other words, heat is not involved in photosynthesis and respiration.
Heat stress actually limits photosynthesis because the functions of relevant enzymes is impacted.
Heat is not required as input in respiration, but is generated as one of its products. Approximately 60% of the ATP generated during respiration is converted to heat.
Hence, when we are talking about involvement, heat is not involved in both photosynthesis and respiration but only generated as a product in the latter.
Well, the cell would be out of energy! The mitochondria plays a very important role in cell functions. With out it, it cannot do whatever job that needs to be acquired.
