Cellular Energy - Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Question 1

photosynthesis

Answer 1

• Captures energy from the sun.
• Releases oxygen.
• Requires carbon dioxide.
• Carried out by producers. (plants, fungi, and algae)
• LIGHT
• 6CO_2 + 6H_2O → C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2

Question 2

cellular respiration

Answer 2

• Release of energy.
• Requires oxygen.
• Releases carbon dioxide.
• All living organisms must undergo this process.
• C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2 → 6CO_2 + 6H_20 + Energy (ATP)
