I GOT 100% ON THIS SO HERE YOU GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUT BE SURE TO CHANGE UP SOME WORDS HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH YOU MIGHT GET POINTS TAKEN OFF IF U DON'T SOOOOO...


Description

[Last Name] 1 Allee Johnson Mr. Cook AG Biology A 10/4/21 Analyzing Cellular Respiration Project Plants, like all living creatures, require energy to carry out the life activities that keep them alive. Plant cells get their energy by converting sugars generated during photosynthesis into energy, which they utilize to fuel their cellular functions. Plants utilize cellular respiration to transform the energy stored in carbohydrates into chemical energy that may be used.

Cellular respiration provides the energy that animal cells require for cellular activities. Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down the glucose content of an animal's diet through glycolysis to create the chemical energy required by the cells.

An obligate anaerobe is a microbe that can't survive in typical oxygen concentrations in the atmosphere, thus it grows and thrives in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation provided energy to obligatory anaerobes.

The mechanism by which each creature obtains the energy required for living varies depending on the type of organism involved. Plants and animals, for example, are multicellular living organisms that get their energy from cellular sugar oxidation. Organisms such as microbes obtain energy in a variety of ways. Those that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen obtain energy through the fermentation process, while those that can survive in the presence

The manner in which an organism gets nutrients is determined by the kind of organism. Plants create their own food, while animals eat both plant and animal-produced food. Some microbes can make their own sustenance from chemicals and inorganic elements, while others eat decaying organic matter.

Nutrients migrate from the physical environment into living creatures and subsequently are recycled back into the physical environment. For example, an animal might get nutrition by eating plants. To stay alive, the animal needs the chemical energy received from food. When the animal dies, the nutrients in its body return to the soil and are reabsorbed by plants. The flow of nutrients in the environment is governed by nutrient cycles.

The plant joins the carbon cycle after photosynthesis. The carbon cycle makes use of carbon dioxide, a by-product of photosynthesis. When carbon dioxide is mixed with water, glucose (which is utilized as food) and oxygen are produced, which is then released back into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis leads to respiration, which utilizes oxygen and glucose to produce carbon dioxide and water, kicking off the carbon cycle.

There is no need for oxygen in this procedure. Glucose stored in the body is utilized to create lactic acid and energy for movement during muscle respiration.

[Last Name] 3 Chemosynthesis is a type of food production that relies on chemical processes. Chemosynthesis is a chemical process that produces sugar, sulfur, and water from inorganic molecules such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen. It happens most often in deep-sea habitats where the sun cannot penetrate.

Chemosynthetic organisms employ chemicals found on the seabed or in the surrounding environment to produce food. They transform these molecules through a process that produces by-products such as glucose (which the plants utilize for sustenance) and sulfur. Other organisms will then employ the sulfur by-product to start a chemosynthetic process that will produce food.

I particularly learned how different organisms specifically get energy and what nutrients are in a subtle way. Also, I specifically learned how nutrients for all intents and purposes go through the environment and what they (for the most part), are used for. Demonstrating that I mostly learned how different organisms definitely get energy and what nutrients are, or so they generally thought....
