Document Summary

Bi110 - lecture 4 - light as a source of energy. Electromagnetic energy in sunlight is captured by chlorophyll. Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy (sugar) Sugar molecules contain some of the energy. Oxygen extracts energy from sugar using cellular respiration and turns it into atp. From cellular respiration, carbon dioxide and water are released, which are the building blocks of photosynthesis. Make organic molecules from carbon dioxide (co2) Plants capture light energy and transform it into chemical energy. Chemosynthesis: inorganic chemical reactions are energy source. Carbon dioxide + water + energy organic molecules + oxygen. All are mainly composed of hydrocarbon molecules. Stored chemical energy in bonds (electrons that makeup bonds) Chemical reactions rearrange bonds and therefore this causes bonds to release energy or need more energy. Use cellular respiration to extract energy from organic molecules; this process converts organic molecules back to carbon dioxide. Organic molecules + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy.

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.
