Farms are simplified ecosystem that are very dependent upon the surrounding more complex ecosystem. These more complex ecosystems provide insect control, nutrients, water, and protection against soil erosion. We would also lose the genetic diversity of our food crops. Explain the role of the products of photosynthesis and respiration for producers, consumers, detritus feeders and decomposers. Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen as waste products and uses water, carbon dioxide and sunlight.
Cell respiration uses glucose and oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
The energy released during cell respiration is used for synthesis, growth, movement, etc. They capture the energy from the sun in the form of glucose. Producers also do cell respiration. The cell respiration portion of the process allows plants to grow, move, etc. Producers produce more glucose and oxygen than they use during cell respiration.
