stores the initial energy released by respiration provides the energy for all cytoplasmic chemical synthesis
Photosynthesis is a __________ reaction, and respiration is a _________ reaction, and they cycle continuously within the plant factory.
synthesis decomposition
Jan Baptista's experiments showed
- loss of soil mass < gain of plant mass - gain of plant mass related to water
Priestly's experiments explained:
