How is photosynthesis linked to respiration?

Photosynthesis produces glucose using energy from sunlight. The total amount of glucose produced in photosynthesis is called Gross Primary Productivity (GPP). Some of this glucose is used for respiration, to produce ATP. ATP is used to help enzymes catalyze metabolic reactions in the cell. The rest of the glucose is available for plant growth (ie.… Continue reading How is photosynthesis linked to respiration?
