what-is-the-relationship-between-two-major-energy-pathways-in-cells

In this assignment, you will compare and contrast two metabolic pathways found in living organisms and answer the following question with sound arguments: Is aerobic cellular respiration the reverse of photosynthesis? Main point and purpose: For you to learn important metabolic pathways in terms of carbon, electron and energy flow. Pattern and procedures: Your assignment should be about 3 pages (1/2-1 page introduction, 1 page compare and contrast chart, 1 page argument and reasoning, 1/2 page looking back, references). Assignment should include the following components: • Introduction: Write a 1/2 to 1 page introduction on metabolism and energy in ecosystems. • Compare and contrast: Include a table that compares and contrasts photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration based on reactants, products, stages, location and function of each pathway in the cell, energy transfer, electron flow and carbon, etc.… • Argument: State if you think aerobic cellular respiration is reverse of photosynthesis or not and explain your reasoning with sound arguments in terms of carbon cycling, electron and energy flow. • Looking back: What part of this topic/assignment was difficult? what part was easy? why? Any suggestions? • References: List all the references you used
