How are the processes of cellular respiration and photosynthesis related? The carbon molecules in glucose are converted to what molecule during respiration? What happens to the carbon dioxide molecules plants use in photosynthesis? Do plants have both chloroplasts and mitochondria? Why would this be?

Q: Why is it necessary for cells to have a vacuole filled with water if they are photosynthetic cells?…

A: The process of photosynthesis involves the absorption of sunlight by photosynthetic pigments. There…

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.
