A: The corneal reflex is an involuntary closing of the eyelids when the cornea is touched by a foreign object. The function of this reflex is to protect the eye from damage. Absence of a corneal reflex may indicate damage to the fifth and seventh cranial nerves, which mediate the reflex.
Cellular respiration is the process by which the chemical energy of food molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved.
Yes, although the energy released by respiration is in a different form. The process of photosynthesis stores energy in the form of chemical bonds (in carbohydrates includin â¦ g glucose, or sugar) and in the process releases free oxygen by breaking down carbon dioxide.Cellular respiration absorbs free oxygen, to release energy stored in the chemical bonds of food.n animal cells, Cellular Respiration is found or takes  place in the mitochondria. In plant cells  photosynthesis is found or takes place in the Chloroplasts.  Photosynthe â¦ sis uses carbon dioxide, light and water to make  glucose, while cellular respiration uses the glucose to make ATP. Bruce Pedersen.
