Trees create their own food. Photosynthesis is a way to get food, but it needs sunlight. Considering, you want to sleep here at night sunlight can't be used and cellular respiration would happen. Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.
Like breathing?
No, it's cellular respiration. There are two types, Aerobic needs oxygen and Anaerobic does not need oxygen, but it might cause lactic acid.
What is the process of cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is ametabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis,pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
What is the process for photosynthesis?
The light-dependent cycle creates ATP and NADPH by using water and sunlight. The Calvin cycle creates ADP and NADP+ from CO2, ATP, and NADPH. It also creates sugar.
So both of these are really important?
Yes! Heterotrophs use cellular respiration, but not photosynthesis and autotrophs use both. Heterotrophs get food by eating other organisms and autotrophs can't.
