photosynthesis & respiration Flashcards
1
Q
photosynthesis
A
Occurs in plants. Plants create sugars.
Occurs in the chloroplasts of plants.
Occurs during the day
Makes oxygen and nutrients
Energy to do this process comes from the sun
6CO2 + 6H2O + energy ⇨ C6 H12 O6 (glucose) +6O2 (oxygen)

Q
respiration
A
Occurs in plants and animals
Occurs in the mitochondria (thE PoWErhOuSe oF tHe CeLL)
C6 H12 O6 + 6O ⇨ 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy ⇨ 38 ATP (instant energy)

Q
how theyŕe opposite processes
A
photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while cellular respiration puts back carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and has it’s waste product of carbon dioxide (CO2).
