Question
Chapter 15, Problem 3RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The comparison of different cycles involved of carbon dioxide fixation and the classes of organism that conduct these cycles.
Introduction:
The process of carbon fixation or carbon assimilation involves the conversion of inorganic carbon, which is carbon dioxide into organic compounds by living entities. Photosynthesis is a process where the carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere is converted into glucose in the presence of sunlight.

- I'm studing Cellular Respiration. We did a lab. We had technical difficulties... our CO2 gas sensor wasn't working properly. So I am curious, what trends SHOULD I have seen. We compared the CO2 output of bean sprouts vs mealworms. We tested at both room temp (27 degrees C) vs cold temp (15 degrees C) for both the mealworms and bean sprouts. I need to know the trends I should have seen, ie. does an animal or plant produces more C02 and why? Also does the the cool temp make the reduction in CO2 production? Thank you.arrow_forwardExplain how the metabolic processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis recycle carbon dioxide (this is a biochemistry and ecology question). Go through the biochemical steps of photosynthesis and cellular respiration that involve carbon dioxide describing how carbon dioxide is involved. Then describe the ecological aspects of this question. Trace a molecule of CO2 from the a muscle cell through the circulatory and respiratory systems to the environment. This is an anatomy and physiology question and should include a discussion of all four types of respiration, of both the respiratory and circulatory systems, and should include a description of diffusion where appropriate.arrow_forwardWhy do you think exposure to ozone causesmore serious respiratory problems in youngerand older persons than in healthy adults?arrow_forward
