Document Summary

Photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy, which is stored in organic compounds such as starch and sugars such as sucrose in plants. These are the energy reserves for the plants themselves and for the animals which feed on them to use. The major organ of photosynthesis is the leaf and the actual site is the chloroplast. The major photosynthetic pigments are the green chlorophylls which can be found on the thylakoid membranes. Thylakoids can be found in stacks called grana, the sites of the light reactions or individually in the stroma (ground substance of the chloroplast) and location of the enzymes which carry out the calvin cycle. Photosynthesis consists of two major components the light reactions on the thylakoid membranes and the calvin cycle within the stroma of the chloroplast. The light reactions consist of two photosystems, each composed of several hundred chlorophyll and carotenoid molecules that make up the light-harvesting antennae.

One way to explain how cellular respiration and photosynthesis relate to each other is to say that:

Plant cells use the oxygen produced by respiration for photosynthesis.

The oxygen produced by photosynthesis, once released to the environment, is the oxygen able to be used as the electron acceptors for cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a series of reduction reactions while photosynthesis is a series of oxidation reactions.

The two processes are not related.

The use of oxygen by plants contributes to the greenhouse effect.
