The biological processes within cells are fundamental to sustaining life, involving mechanisms such as cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria and can be aerobic, requiring oxygen to break down food into ATP, or anaerobic, which does not use oxygen.

Cellular Respiration

Mitochondria
Anaerobic
Breaks down the food in the body without oxygen to make ATP
Aerobic
Breaks down the food in the body with the help of oxygen to make ATP

Glucose + Oxygen --> Water + Carbon Dioxide + ATP x38 C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6H2O + 6CO2 + ATP x38

Photosynthesis

Chloroplast
CAM
Occurs in VERY hot climates, slowest growth of plants, needs little water, during night and day
C3
Happens in moderate climates, only in the day, needs the most water

Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight --> Glucose + Oxygen 6H2O + 6CO2 + Sunlight --> C6H12O6 +6O2

C4
Occurs in hot/dry climates, only in the day, needs average amounts of water, fastest growth of plants
