What do mitochondria need to have to make ATP? Explain in detail how energy is stored in, and released from ATP. (a) Why do plants undergo both photosynthesis and cellular respiration? (b) Why don't they simply use the ATP produced during photosynthesis to drive cellular processes?
Plants make ATP during the light reactions of photosynthesis. Why do plants also need to carry out the process of cellular respiration? (a) Why do plants undergo both photosynthesis and cellular respiration? (b) Why don't they simply use the ...
Why Do Leaves Change Color in the Fall? The Science!Plants use a process called photosynthesis to get the energy they need to survive. Photosynthesis converts sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose which the plant consumes to grow. The trees use a bright green pigment called ...
Plants (and other autotrophs) undergo photosynthesis to create energy. Humans (and other heterotrophs) on the other hand must consume something that has energy (like plants or other animals)—we take this energy and convert it into a form our body can use. This process is known as cellular...
Hint: Biosynthetic phase isthe phase of photosynthesis where the chemical products of the light reaction are used to synthesize the actual food i.e. glucose, in the higher plants. What is the role of Florigen? Florigen (or flowering hormone) is thehypothesized hormone-like molecule responsible ...
Why do Euglena move towards light? Chloroplasts within the euglena trap sunlight required for photosynthesis and can be seen as several rod-like structures though out the cell. Because theEuglena can undergo photosynthesis, they detect light via eyespot and move toward it; a process known as photo...
At least for plastids of seed plants, such interactions are difficult to image, since plastids usually do not undergo fusion [16, 46, 54]. There is no molecular or cell biological evidence for negative interactions between co-existing plastids, even though some classic genetic evid...

Because of both the photosynthesis factories we’ll build and all the real photosynthesis from the new plant life, oxygen levels on Mars will be increasing. But slowly. This is the one step that with our current technology, we can’t do within a century or two. Scientist estimates for how...
How do you measure the net amount of metabolic activity in the cell? Why do plants do anaerobic respiration, although plants don't do any activity? What conclusions can you draw about metabolism, exercise, and cell respiration? Describe and explain the process of ...
