photosynthesis and cellular respiration are near-opposite processes. they differ only in the form of energy absorbed or realsed
photosynthesis isn't just cellular respiration run in reverse. photosynthesis takes place in its own unique series of steps. there are some notable similarities between photosynthesis and cellular respiration
cellular respiration is the energy converter in both heterotrophs and autotrophs
heterotrophs is a term used to describe organisms that obtain energy from other organisms
autotrophs is
the process of cellular respiration break down glucose into form that cell can use as energy
ATP is adenosine triphosphate, the primary energy carrier in living things
mitochondria is a eukaryotic cell structure where cellular respiration occurs
cytoplasm content of a cell between the plasma membrane and the nuclear envelop; includes cytosol which is the jelly like subtances that fills the space between organelles
aerobic is a process that require oxygen
anaerobic is a process that does not require oxygen
fermentation is an anaerobic pathway for breaking down glucose
