What is photosynthesis?
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product.

What is respiration?
a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances

What is the equation for Aerobic Respiration?
The aerobic respiration equation is: Glucose + Oxygen ------------à Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy The above equation clearly shows that in the process of aerobic respiration the glucose is broken down with the help of oxygen into energy accompanied

What is the equation for Anaerobic Respiration in animals?
The chemical equation for anaerobic cellular respiration in animals is: C6H12O6 ---> CO2 + lactic acid + 2 ATP. In this reaction (called lactic acid fermentation), C6H12O6 is the reactant and CO2 + lactic acid + 2 ATP are the products

Give an example of a food web.
An example of a food web is a diagram that shows a bird may eat a mouse, an insect or a grain while on the same diagram a mouse may also eat an insect or a grain.

What is Chemosynthesis?
In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sul

Where does Photosynthesis take place?
Photosynthesis takes place inside plant cells in small things called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts (mostly found in the mesophyll layer) contain a green substance called chlorophyll. Below are the other parts of the cell that work with the chloroplast t

What is a producer?
In science, a producer is an autotrophic organism that can be consumed by another organism as a source of food. The classification of producer can also be used for organisms that create their own food.

What is the equation for Anaerobic Respiration in yeast?
The equation for an aerobic respiration in a yeast cell is: Glucose→Pyruvic acid→ethanol+carbon dioxide+energy Here, glucose(C 6 H 12O6) is a 6-C molecule which gets transformed into a 3-C molecule called pyruvic acid. This equation is comman in many

Why do some species at the bottom of the ocean use Chemosynthesis and not Photosynthesis?
Chemosynthesis is the process by which food (glucose) is made by bacteria using chemicals as the energy source, rather than sunlight. Chemosynthesis occurs around hydrothermal vents and methane seeps in the deep sea where sunlight is absent. During c
