PHOTOSYNTHESIS. INTRODUCTION. Photosynthesis, process by which green plants and certain other organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple sugar glucose. In so doing, photosynthesis provides the basic energy source for virtually all organisms.hotosynthesis, process by which green plants and certain other organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple sugar glucose.
Glycolysis. Glycolysis, part of cellular respiration, is a series of reactions that constitute the first phase of most carbohydrate catabolism, catabolism meaning the breaking down of larger molecules into smaller ones.The word glycolysis is derived from two Greek words and means the breakdown of something sweet.he pyruvate end product of glycolysis can be used in either anaerobic respiration if no oxygen is available or in aerobic respiration via the TCA cycle which yields much more usable energy for the cell.
Cellular respiration 3. Glycolysis Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that is found in the cytoplasm of cells in all living organisms and is anaerobic(that is, oxygen is not required). The process converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, itmakes energy in the form of two net molecules of ATP.ellular respiration (also known as'oxidative metabolism') is the set of themetabolic reactions and processes that takeplace in organisms' cells to convertbiochemical energy from nutrients intoadenosine triphosphate (ATP), and thenrelease waste products.
