Question 1

what is photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Used primarily by plants to produce carbohydrates (glucose)

● Endothermic reaction requires energy in the form of sunlight

● Occurs in chlorophyll (a molecule in green plants)

● Reactants: carbon dioxide + water

● Products: glucose + oxygen gas

Question 2

photosynethisis equation + balancing

Answer 2

6CO^2 + 6H^2O -> C^6H^12O^6+ 6O2

Question 3

what is cellular respiration?

Answer 3

Used by all living organisms to release energy for use

● Exdothermic reaction releases energy

● Occurs in mitochondrion (an organelle)

● Reactants: glucose + oxygen gas

● Products:carbon dioxide + water

Question 4

Answer 4

for food for the plant

Question 5
