By definition, photosynthesis is a metabolic process carried out by certain cells of autotrophic organisms, that is, those that have the capacity to make their own food, such as plants.

With this process, plants capture the energy of sunlight and transform it into chemical energy, to produce organic matter.

Photosynthesis takes place in 2 stages:

  • In the first stage the plants absorb water from the soil through the roots. Through their stems they transport it to their leaves. In these it meets the sunlight captured by chlorophyll, which breaks the water molecule, separating hydrogen (H) from oxygen (O₂).
  • The other stage is capturing carbon dioxide. This provides the carbon and oxygen atoms that, together with hydrogen and stored energy, will form the glucose molecule, from which compounds are produced that are the basis of food for plants and other living beings.

Then, sunlight, carbon dioxide and water are needed for the photosyntesis, while oxygen is released to the environment.

How does the body of a runner keep up with the demand for energy when cellular oxygen levels are low?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The correct answer is through anaerobic respiration in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is of 2 types

1 Aerobic respiration Respiration that require oxygen to occur

2 Anaerobic respiration Respiration that do not requires oxygen.

During low oxygen level the body of runner keep up with the demand for energy by undergoing anaerobic respiration which includes Glycolysis.

  During anaerobic condition the functionally active body cells undergo glycolysis and with each glycolysis 2 molecules of ATP are generated which can some how boost the energy supply within runner"s body.

Is glucose a reactant in aerobic stages of cellular respiration?
N76 [4]
YES


Glycosis helps to process glucose to pyruvate in many cellular respiration procedure. 

Cellular respiration is also considered a part of the metabolism process. This process actually helps in carrying the oxygen through the blood.<span> 
Two types: Anaerobic and aerobic respiration 
Anaerobic respiration doesn't use oxygen during its respiration process while the aerobic respiration uses oxygen.</span>
