The diagram illustrates the correlation between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In general, both processes occur under certain conditions, and one’s products will be essential for the other.
Photosynthesis begins when a plant absorbs sunlight. Chloroplast located inside the plant cells is responsible for receiving the sunlight and converting it into solar power that is crucial to create glucose and oxygen. Afterward, these end products are released from the plant into the outside environment, ready to be consumed. Next, these substances enter an animal’s body in two ways: inhalation and food consumption. Once they get into the body, they serve as stimulants for cellular respiration.
As respiration is triggered inside mitochondria, one of the main components of animal cells, 4 types of products are formed. The first two, which are heat and ATP, are utilized to sustain the animal, while the remaining two, which are carbon dioxide and water, are discharged to the external environment through exhalation and excretion respectively. The latter two are then re-absorbed by the plant, where they contribute to photosynthesis, repeating the cycle.
