Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.

Question

What is/are the differences between photosynthesis and respiration?

What is the relationship between respiration and plant growth?

Expert Solution

Step 1 INTRODUCTION

For a plant to grow and develop , both photosynthesis and respiration are equally important.

Step 2

DIFFERNECES BETWEEN PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION :-

Photosynthesis is an anabolic process , whereas respiration is a catabolic process.
Photosynthesis is mainly responsible for storing energy , respiration is a process where energy is utilized.
Photosynthesis leaves out a product where CO2 + H2O yields out C6H12O6 + O2 , respiration leaves out a product where O2 + C6H12O6 (glucose) yields out CO2 + H2O.
In the process of photosynthesis food is made , in respiration food is being broken down.

The Calvin cycle, the "dark reaction" or Carbon fixation reactions of photosynthesis, cannot occur at night in a living plant. Which of the following best describes why this is true? A) The stomata are incapable of opening at night, thus CO2 cannot enter the leaf B) The reactions of the Calvin cycle are dependent on light reactions for high-energy compounds C) Several enxymes necessary for Calvin cycle activity have been degraded during the day and must be replaced D) Light is required to transport the water necessary for the cycle E) Cooler temperatures at night slow enzyme activity and rates of substrate diffusion

What is the connection between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
What is the benefit of Photorespiration in plants and what problem does it pose in many plants?
Plants have evolved by developing mechanisms that promote entry of CO, into the Calvin Cycle (CC) to limit photorespiration when environmental conditions tend to favor the latter. This is because photorespiration 1) is energetically inefficient (consuming more ATP than the CC alone) and 2) it does not produce any sugars that can be "fed" into cellular respiration to produce lots more ATP. A) Under what environmental conditions does photorespiration "outcompete" that of the CC? Specifically, what mechanism is responsible for committing the cell to photorespiration and what type of plant does not have any "safeguards" to ensure that the CC is performed rather than photorespiration? B) Describe the mechanisms employed by two types of plants to minimize photorespiration and ensure that the CC is carried out even when environmental conditions are not in their favor. Be sure to identify 1) the type of plant, 2) its natural environment and how it affects the plant's ability to perform the CC,…
