Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

On Friday's class we were divided into groups to present the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration by creating some 3D models on chart papers.

Photosynthesis
Here is what happens during photosynthesis.

Cyclic Light Dependent Reaction

Non-cyclic Light Dependent Reaction

Calvin Cycle

From photosynthesis, glucose is synthesized and energy is stored. This kind of reactions are called anabolism.

Cellular Respiration

Glycolysis

Crebs Cycle

Electron Transportation Chain

The above shows the reactions which break down the glucose and release the energy. This kind of reactions is called catabolism.

To sum up, these two kinds of reactions, which is anabolism and catabolism, combine and form the overall metabolic processes in organisms.
