... dioxide production and measured the volume of the CO2 bubbles that formed in the tube. Introduction Cellular respiration is the process by which microorganisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates. They take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrate and release the energy. The energy is generally not needed immediately, so it ... ATP molecules (ARCC 2015) . During the process of cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is given off as a waste product. This carbon dioxide can be used by photosynthe...

Introducing Photosynthesis: What is Photosynthesis? Animals and plants both synthesize fats and proteins from carbohydrates; thus glucose is a basic energy source for all living organisms. The oxygen released, with water vapor in transpiration, as a photosynthetic byproduct, principally of phytoplankton, provides most of the atmospheric oxygen ... equation used to represent this overall process is 6CO2+12H2O+energy=C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O. In general, the results of this process are the reverse of those in respiration, in which carbohydrates are oxidized to release energy, with the production of ca...

... of photosynthesis and therefore more nutrients produced. Hence, with more nutrition, the plant's growth rate will increase. In further detail, photosynthesis is the combination of CO2, H2O, the oxidisation of carbohydrates and most importantly, the sun, to produce a sugar which the plant takes in as energy; this sugar is known as glucose (C6H12O6). Another product of photosynthesis is oxygen gas (O2 ... ...
