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.
Glycolysis, the first stage of aerobic cell respiration, is a process in which glucose is broken down to form two pyruvic acid molecules along with the formation of two ATP and two NADH molecules. Glycolysis is a complex reaction that involves the formation of several intermediate molecules until pyruvic acid molecules are made.
