Document Summary

Satellite image of global chlorophyll (how much photosynthesis is going on the planet) Co2 fixation accounts for 105 gigatons of carbon is fixed a year (carbon fixation = photosynthesis inorganic into organic form) How much co2 is converted to glucose. The conversion of co2 into an organic form (to glucose) There is more free energy in glucose than there is in co2. No free energy in co2 nothing to be extracted from it endergonic (more nrg in product) Free energy to drive this reaction comes from light. Photosynthesis is also an oxidation / reduction reaction. Water in photosynthesis, h2o is being oxidized (bond between hydrogen and oxygen oxidize this not easy because oxygen is highly electronegative) Oxidation linked to a reduction, co2 is being reduced to glucose. Atp provides the chemical energy to drive this process. Also needs electrons there are more c-h bonds in glucose than there are in co2 (none)

Question 6

Select one answer.

10 points

One way to explain how cellular respiration and photosynthesis relate to each other is to say that:

Plant cells use the oxygen produced by respiration for photosynthesis.

The oxygen produced by photosynthesis, once released to the environment, is the oxygen able to be used as the electron acceptors for cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a series of reduction reactions while photosynthesis is a series of oxidation reactions.

The two processes are not related.

The use of oxygen by plants contributes to the greenhouse effect.
