Roles of gases between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Basile [38]

Answer:

  • Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
  • Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O2

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.

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways through which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen during photosynthesis and cellular respiration worldwide helps to keep atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide at stable levels.

Alina [70]

Answer:

D) resource partitioning.

Explanation:

Resource partitioning explains how species that are similar (in this case the two-spot and the three-spot avenger beetles) use their resources together (coexist). They live in the same community and use the same resources, but they don't push one another to extinction through competition. They use the same limiting resource at different  time and thus, compete less with one another.
