What are photosynthesis and respiration?

Photosynthesis and respiration are two fundamental biological
processes that are central to the survival of living organisms,
particularly plants and animals. They involve the conversion of
energy and matter within cells.
Photosynthesis:
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and
some bacteria convert light energy from the sun into chemical
energy in the form of glucose (a simple sugar) and oxygen. This
process occurs in chloroplasts, specialised organelles found in plant
cells.

The overall chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
6CO2+6H2O+light energy→C6H12O6+6O2

I​n simpler terms, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are
converted into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) using energy
from sunlight. Glucose is used by the plant as a source of energy
for cellular processes and as a building block for growth.
Respiration:
Respiration is the process by which organisms break down glucose
and other organic molecules to release energy, which is used to fuel
cellular activities. This process occurs in the mitochondria, the
"powerhouses" of the cell.

The overall chemical equation for respiration is:
C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O+energy

In simpler terms, glucose and oxygen are combined to produce
carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of adenosine
triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of cells. This
energy is used for various cellular processes, including growth,
repair, and movement.

,It's worth noting that respiration is the reverse process of
photosynthesis, with the chemical reactions occurring in the
opposite direction.

In summary, photosynthesis captures light energy from the sun to
produce glucose and oxygen, while respiration releases the energy
stored in glucose to power cellular activities, with carbon dioxide
and water produced as byproducts. These two processes are
interconnected and essential for the survival of most life forms on
Earth.

Rate of Photosynthesis Practical :




● Gas produced oxygen
● Independent variable - the distance of the light
● Dependent variable - amount of bubbles
● Control variable - water , pondweed

Independent Variable: This is the factor that the experimenter
changes or controls to see what effect it has. It is the cause you are
testing.

,Dependent Variable: This is the factor that is measured or
observed to see how it responds to changes in the independent
variable. It is the effect you are studying.

Control Variable: These are the factors that are kept the same
throughout the experiment to ensure that any changes in the
dependent variable are truly due to the independent variable alone.




Leaf as an Organ




Leaves are vital organs of a plant, primarily involved in the process

of photosynthesis—the conversion of light energy into chemical

, energy. They play several key roles in the life of a plant, each

contributing to the plant’s overall ability to grow, reproduce, and

survive. Here’s a closer look at the leaf as an organ:


Structure of Leaves
Leaves are typically flat and thin, maximising their surface area to

absorb sunlight efficiently. The basic structure of a typical leaf

includes:


● Blade: The broad, flat part of the leaf.
● Petiole: The stalk that connects the leaf blade to the stem,
providing structural support and transporting water and
nutrients.
● Veins: The vascular system within the leaf that transports
water, nutrients, and sugars; includes xylem (which moves
water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant) and
phloem (which distributes the sugars produced by
photosynthesis).

Layers within a Leaf

The internal structure of a leaf is organised into several layers that

each play specific roles:


● Epidermis: The outer layer of cells covering the leaf which
protects the internal tissues and minimises water loss. The
upper epidermis is typically covered by a waxy layer called the
cuticle that helps retain water.
● Mesophyll: The inner tissue of the leaf where photosynthesis
occurs, typically divided into:
