Chapter 6, Problem 9AA

Summary Introduction

To compare: The photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Concept introduction: Photosynthesis is a metabolic process, in which the plants convert light energy into chemical energy. During the process of photosynthesis, sunlight is used by the cell to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration is the biological process during which the chemical energy of food is released and converted in the form of ATP. It occurs in four major steps, glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Summary Introduction

To name: The organelles in which the photosynthesis and cellular respiration occurs.
