Corn is classified in the plant kingdom as: Kingdom- Plantae Phylum- Anthophyta Class- Monocotyledonae Order- Commelinales Family- Poaceace Genus- Zea Species- Mays Photosynthesis and cellular respiration have a complimentary relationship where photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to produce oxygen and glucose in plants, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide in animals.

*Linnean Classification of
corn compared to a
human

3. *Linnean Classification of
Corn
**Corn/Maize is apart of the eukaryote domain
*Pantea: this Kingdom includes all land plants
Example- Mosses, Ferns, grass, green algae
*Anthophyta: flowering plants
Biggest of all Phylum plants
dominate the modern world
*Monocotyledonae: 65,000 species including grass and grains
*Commelinales: largest order with 652 species
*Poaceace: 1000 domestic and wild species
example- Maize, wheat, rice, and barley
*Zea: Corn is the only domesticated crop in this Genus
*Mays: Corn

4. *Cells
*Cells are the smallest unit of life
*Microscopic in nature
*You cant see cells with your naked eye
*Cells are the building blocks of life
*Humans have about 100 trillion cells
*Some cells are used to carry oxygen through
the blood
*A cells dimensions are between 1 and 100
micrometers

5. *Plant vs. Animal Cells
Animal Plant
Only cell membrane Cell wall
Round and irregular in
shape
Fixed rectangular in shape
One or more small vacuole One large vacuole
No chloroplast Chloroplast

7. *So what’s the relationship
between plants and
animals?
*Plant and animal cells undergo
complimentary processes called
photosynthesis and cellular respiration
*One uses Carbon Dioxide and Water in the
presence of sunlight to produce Sugar and
Oxygen, the other uses Sugar and Oxygen to
produce Energy, Water, and Carbon Dioxide.

8. *Photosynthesis
*is a process used by plants and other organisms to
convert light energy into chemical energy that can
later be released to fuel the organisms activities
*The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into
usable chemical energy, is associated with the
actions of the green pigment chlorophyll
* this process uses water and lets the oxygen go that
we need to live
*The plant does not use all of the sunlight it obtains

10. *Cellular Respiration
*Cellular respiration allows organisms to be released
of energy stored in chemical bonds of glucose
*Chemical energy of food molecules is released and
partially captured in the form of ATP (adenosine
triphosphate)

*Produces CO2 and H20 as metabolic waste
*Breaking down sugar in the presence of oxygen

11. *Cellular Respiration
Continued
Can be broken into 4 stages-
1. Glycolysis: happens in the cytoplasm
2. Transition Reaction: in the mitochondria acid is
broken down
3. Citric Acid Cycle: Happens in the mitochondria
4. Electron Transport chain: electrons from
Hydrogen are carried down an electron transport
chain to result in the production of ATP
