Chemical reaction for cellular respiration
C6H12O6 (sugar) + 02 (oxygen)➡️ CO2 (carbon dioxide) + H2O + energy
Carbohydrate
A compound made from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
Cellular respiration
A process where starches and sugars are broken down into the cells
Cellulose
The main substance that makes up the cell wall in plants
Chlorophyll
The chemical that absorbs and stores the energy of sunlight
Chloroplasts

Photosynthesis
The possess that uses energy from the sun to make food from water and carbon dioxide
Stomata
Tiny pores in the bottom of leaves that take in carbon dioxide from the air
Chemical reaction for photosynthesis
Co2 (carbon dioxide) + energy (sun)+ H2O (water) ➡️ C6H12O6 (sugar)+o2 (oxygen)
