5.2.1 Photosynthesis Flashcards
1
Q
what is energy needed for?
A
for biological processes
plants - photosynthesis, active transport, DNA replication, cell division and protein synthesis
animals - muscle contraction, mataniace of body temp., active transport, DNA replication, cell division and protein synthesis
without energy biological processes stop and the plant/animals will die
2

the process where energy from light is used to make glucose
6CO2 + 6H2O —-> C6H12O6 + 6O2
