Q

Cellular respiration equation

A

C6H12O6 + 6O2 (yield symbol) chemical energy + 6H2O + 6CO2

17
Q

Reactants

A

C6H12O6 + 6O2

18
Q

Products

A

the answer after the Yield symbol

19
Q

Where in plant cells does photosynthesis take place?

A

plants use the glucose for their processes
plants store glucose in the form of starch
animals eat the plants and as a result get glucose and starch from them
animals breath in oxygen

20
Q

Where in animal cells does cellular respiration take place?

A

animals cells use the chemical energy for their own cellular processes
released as heat
release carbon dioxide for plant cells

21
Q

Coefficient

A

Numbers

22
Q

Subscript

A

power of 10 (small numbers)
