How do respiration, photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, transcription, translation, & replication interact?
Well chemosynthesis is kind of the outlier there. All of these other things are either applicable plant cells. However, I suppose you could have some chemosynthesis in plants but it wouldn’t be very efficent for them to do this unless specially designed to do so (theres a few plants that dont really get a lot of sunlight or are just really good at extracting carbon from the soil), since photosynthesis is very effective at creating energy for the plant. Basically photosynthesis is going to create organic compounds, usually glucose, through sun intake and carbon dioxide intake (respiration) that will be used as chemical energy for protein synthesis. Transcription is going to provide the information for coding specific amino acids (by making a copy of DNA in the form of RNA, more specifically Ribosomal RNA) Translation is going to decode this message brought in by the RNA in the ribosomes (if your picky sometimes it can happen in the cytoplasm but for your purposes you should probably ign
