Q

What is used in photosynethesis

A

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar

16
Q

What is the equation of photosynthesis

A

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

17
Q

What is the difference between photosynthesis and respiration

A

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are byproducts and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

18
Q

What is used in respiration in plants

A

The process of respiration in plants involves using the sugars produced during photosynthesis plus oxygen to produce energy for plant growth

19
Q

What is the equasion for respiration

A

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water)

20
Q

What is the use of respiration

A

The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breathe. Respiration is essential for growth and maintenance of all plant tissues,

21
Q

What is the use of photosynthesis

A

Plants use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel

22
Q

what is cytosole

A

The cytosol is the liquid medium contained within a cell
