A weightlifter is using heavy weights in short bursts for a competition. Because his muscle cells are not able to take in enough oxygen to make very much ATP the weightlifter begins to get fatigue in his muscles. Which of the following processes is most likely going on in the muscles of the weightlifter as he competes in his event?

A. As the cells run out of oxygen they switch to anaerobic respiration, which allows the cell to make small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

B. As the cells run out of oxygen, they die off gradually and the weightlifter's muscles have fewer contracting muscle cells.

C. The cells will never run out of oxygen if the weightlifter is breathing.

D. As the cells run out of oxygen, they will continue to make the same amount of ATP, since oxygen is not required to make ATP.

What is the matter in the photosynthesis and cellular respiration cycle?

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

How the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected and why this is important to your life?

Photosynthesis makes glucose which is used in cellular respiration for making ATP. The glucose is then transformed back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. It helps cells to release and store energy. It maintains the atmospheric balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen.

How does photosynthesis cycle matter?

Photosynthesis is the process where plants use energy from the sun to create their own food. This is why plants are referred to as producers. In the process of photosynthesis, the energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water are converted into sugar and oxygen through chemical reactions in plant cells.

How does energy and matter move through the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested as chemical energy in a process that converts water and carbon dioxide to glucose. Oxygen is released as a byproduct. In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose, releasing chemical energy and heat in the process.
