2. Compensation point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compensation_point

   The light compensation point (I c) is the light intensity on the light curve where the rate of photosynthesis exactly matches the rate of cellular respiration.At this point, the uptake of CO 2 through photosynthetic pathways is equal to the respiratory release of carbon dioxide, and the uptake of O 2 by respiration is equal to the photosynthetic release of oxygen.

3. Cellular respiration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_respiration

   Cellular respiration may be described as a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert chemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and then release waste products. [1] Cellular respiration is a vital process that occurs in the cells of all [[plants and some bacteria ]].

4. Bioenergetic systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergetic_systems

   The process that converts the chemical energy of food into ATP (which can release energy) is not dependent on oxygen availability. During exercise, the supply and demand of oxygen available to muscle cells is affected by duration and intensity and by the individual's cardio respiratory fitness level. [1]

5. Respiration (physiology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiration_(physiology)

   Although physiologic respiration is necessary to sustain cellular respiration and thus life in animals, the processes are distinct: cellular respiration takes place in individual cells of the organism, while physiologic respiration concerns the diffusion and transport of metabolites between the organism and the external environment.

6. Bioenergetics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergetics

   Bioenergetics is a field in biochemistry and cell biology that concerns energy flow through living systems. [1] This is an active area of biological research that includes the study of the transformation of energy in living organisms and the study of thousands of different cellular processes such as cellular respiration and the many other metabolic and enzymatic processes that lead to ...

7. ATP synthase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATP_synthase

   The enzyme is integrated into thylakoid membrane; the CF 1-part sticks into stroma, where dark reactions of photosynthesis (also called the light-independent reactions or the Calvin cycle) and ATP synthesis take place. The overall structure and the catalytic mechanism of the chloroplast ATP synthase are almost the same as those of the bacterial ...

8. Carbohydrate metabolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_metabolism

   When animals and fungi consume plants, they use cellular respiration to break down these stored carbohydrates to make energy available to cells. [2] Both animals and plants temporarily store the released energy in the form of high-energy molecules, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), for use in various cellular processes.

9. Calvin cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_cycle

   The Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions, bio synthetic phase, dark reactions, or photosynthetic carbon reduction (PCR) cycle [1] of photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen-carrier compounds into glucose. The Calvin cycle is present in all photosynthetic eukaryotes and also many ...
