Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Concepts

The video explains the cycle of matter and energy flow in ecosystems, focusing on photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, converting sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration in mitochondria breaks down glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy, which fuels cellular metabolism. The cycle completes as carbon dioxide and water return to plants, highlighting the interconnectedness of these processes.
