An action spectrum plots the rate of photosynthesis at various wavelengths of visible light, and it shows that blue light with a wavelength of about 490 nm is effective in driving photosynthesis.

green light

The majority of green light is useful in photosynthesis. The relative quantum efficiency curve (Photo 1) shows how efficiently plants use wavelengths between 300 and 800 nm. Green light is the least efficiently used color of light in the visible spectrum.

electron transport chain

The common factor in both photosynthesis and respiration is that they both produce chemical energy in the form of ATP (B). Further Explanation: The process of photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast and respiration occur in mitochondria and cytoplasm.

In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested as chemical energy in a process that converts water and carbon dioxide to glucose. Oxygen is released as a byproduct. In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose, releasing chemical energy and heat in the process.

Glucose and ATP. Two of the most important energy-carrying molecules are glucose and ATP (adenosine triphosphate). These are nearly universal fuels throughout the living world and both are also key players in photosynthesis.

Ch. 9 Honors Biology Cellular Respiration

The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is c. glycolysis, formation of acetyl CoA, citric acid cycle, electron transport chain.

Aerobic Metabolism

Glycolysis requires no oxygen. It is an anaerobic type of respiration performed by all cells, including anaerobic cells that are killed by oxygen. For these reasons, glycolysis is believed to be one of the first types of cell respiration and a very ancient process, billions of years old.

Glycolysis

Glycolysis – is an anerobic process. (It does not directly require oxygen, nor does it rely on an oxygen-requiring process to run).

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration where oxygen is not used; instead, organic or inorganic molecules are used as final electron acceptors.

Cellular respiration, on the other hand, is the process by which living things convert oxygen and glucose to carbon dioxide and water, thereby yielding energy. It does not require the presence of sunlight and is always occurring in living organisms.

Plants cannot survive in total darkness. All plants, with the exception of a few that live on other organisms, use a process called photosynthesis to obtain the energy they need. The vast majority of plants are autotrophs—they are self-feeding and require sunlight to survive.

No. The light that comes from a wood fire is not the same as solar radiation. The amount of heat required to create and maintain that much light in an enclosed space would be quite expensive, create a lot of waste, and the heat would cause the plants to die.
