Question

Is cellular respiration affected by light?


Open in App
Solution

Cellular Respiration:

  1. Cellular respiration is a range of metabolic processes that occur in organisms' cells to transform chemical energy from foods to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and then release the waste products.
  2. Light has no effect on cellular respiration since cellular respiration is not light-dependent.
  3. Light indirectly impacts the rate of cellular respiration in plants by increasing light intensity, and surrounding temperature, lowering the quantity of glucose required for cellular respiration.
