Unveiling The Interplay: Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration, The Driving Forces Of Life
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary processes in energy metabolism. Photosynthesis converts light energy into glucose, releasing oxygen, while cellular respiration breaks down glucose, releasing stored energy and consuming oxygen. Electron transfer powers both processes, with light energy driving electron removal in photosynthesis and electron transfer through carriers generating ATP in cellular respiration. These processes…
