I don’t get photosynthesis or cellular respiration, i have an assessment about them both tomorrow and need serious help and answering this one problem will help me a lot. Please I’m desperate. Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are processes that transfer energy and cycle matter. Explain how each process transfers energy, and how energy transfers from one form to another throughout the process. Then explain how each process cycles carbon for the Earth.

Answer:

How each process transfers energy:

This transfer happens in three different ways—by conduction within solids, by the flow of liquid or gas (convection), and by radiation, which can travel across space. Even when a system is isolated (such as Earth in space), energy is continually being transferred into and out of it by radiation.

how each process cycles carbon for the Earth:

Carbon moves from plants and animals to soils. When plants and animals die, their bodies, wood and leaves decays bringing the carbon into the ground. Some is buried and will become fossil fuels in millions and millions of years. Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere.


ur welcome:D
