MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, whereas cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Photosynthesis makes glucose and oxygen, which are then used as the starting products for cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Calvin Cycle This stage takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. In the Calvin cycle, carbon dioxide is used to produce glucose (sugar) using the energy stored in ATP and NADPH. The energy is released from these molecules when ATP loses phosphate (Pi) to become ADP and NADPH loses hydrogen (H) to become NADP+.

Detailed explanation-3: -The liver plays a major role in whole body glucose metabolism by maintaining a balance between glucose production and glucose storage in the form of glycogen. Approximately 80% of endogenous glucose production is accounted for by the liver and the remaining by the kidney (Gerich, 2010).
