What is the importance of photosynthesis and cell respiration?
1 Answer
Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are extremely important biological processes needed by organism, to carry out their life process.
Explanation:
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
-
Photosynthesis is a processes by which plants convert light energy to chemical energy. This energy is released during cell activities of the organism.
-
photosynthesis is also largely reponsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the earths atmosphere.
-
it also supplies organic compounds used to build the biological materials used by humans such as wood, cotton and wool.
-
it is the main process by which new energy becomes available to life on Earth.
-
it is also the source of energy stored in fossil fuels. Fossil fuels usually result from the decomposition of buried organisms without oxygen.
CELLULAR RESPIRATION
Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients to ATP.
Cellular respiration is one of the key ways a cell releases chemical energy to fuel cellular activities.
The chemical energy stored in ATP is used to drive processes requiring energy including biosynthesis, locomotion or transport across cell membranes.
