- Ok I think I'm starting to understand. You said that trees are a main part of these cycles, how exactly do they relate?
- Lets use this tree as an example for photosynthesis. The tree has tiny cells that contain chloroplast. These chloroplasts take in the suns energy and create glucose and oxygen. We take that oxygen and glucose through our cells, specifically our organelles aka mitochondria. Using those we can create energy for our bodies to work, which is how I am able to perform for such a long time.

- Oh ok so the trees are the main source for all of these processes through photosynthesis. Is there any other processes that trees do?
- Yes there is. It is called fermentation. Fermentation is the process where bacteria and yeast break down sugars in the trees sap. This causes a gas buildup in the tree causing pressure. We call this a anaerobic system because there is no O2 directly involved. This relates to the other systems because fermentation is the alternate source of energy when O2 is low in the tree. When there is a low O2 supply fermentation, which starts in the glycolysis, can continue to produce its small supply of ATP.

- That's it! Thanks to these processes I am able to perform for long periods of time and you can do anything you can think of. These processes are the basis for all life functions.
- Well that explains it. A simple thing like a tree can be connected to so many more things. It uses the suns energy to produce glucose and O2. We can then use these products to carry out all functions. Then fermentation can create ATP in low O2 areas which keeps the plant alive so it can keep providing us with energy and oxygen.
