Question

In Biology, Compare and contrast in detail photosynthesis and respiration.

Answer 1

	photosynthesis	respiration
defination	photosynthesis is process in photoautotrophs that converts CO2 into organic compound in the presence of sunlight	respiration is a set of metabolic reaction that takes in the cells of living organisms that convert nutrients like sugar into ATP and waste products
site of reaction	photosynthesis takes place in chloroplast and organelles of plant cell	respiration takesplace in the cytoplasm and mitochondria in the cell of a living organisms
reaction kinetics	the electron acceptor in photosynthesis is NAD+	the acceptor is NADH
chemical equation	6CO2 + 12H2O + light ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O	6O2 + C6H12O6 ------>6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP(energy)
process	the production of organic carbon(glucose and starch) from inorganic carbon (CO2) with the use of ATP and NADPH produce in the light dependent reaction	production of ATP via oxidation of organic sugar compounds: 1) glycolysis: breaking down of sugars occur in cytoplast 2)krebcycle: occur in mitochondria, requires energy 3) electron transport chain: in mitochondria converts O2 to water
production of ATP	yes	yes, theoratical yield is 38 ATP molecule per glucose but actual yield is only about 30-32
electron source	oxidation H2O at PSll	glucose, NADH+, FADH2
function	production of food, energy is captured	breakdown of food, energy is released
stages	2 stages: the light dependent reaction, light independent reaction(AKA light cycle and Calvin cycle)	4 stages: glycolysis, linking reaction(pyruvate oxidation), kreb cycle, electron transport chain(oxidative phosphorylation)
