Chemical Reactions Flashcards
What are reactants & products?
What is reacting together is always on the left. What is being produced is on the right.
What is photosynthesis?
It is how plants create glucose from the sun. Chemical reaction that is occurring so they can release oxygen for organisms to breathe and make sugar for the plants.
What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?
Sunlight+ carbon dioxide + water
-> oxygen + glucose
What is cellular respiration?
Series of chemical reactions that our metabolism uses within our cells to allow us to survive. Energy from food is converted into other uses,
What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
Glucose+ oxygen -> water + carbon dioxide + energy
What is combustion?
It is chemical process, which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen & gives off heat.
What is the chemical equation for combustion?
Fuel + heat + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy
