Science Q1, W7 - Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Flashcards
A chemical process that uses
sunlight to turn carbon dioxide
and water into sugars that the
cell can use as energy
Photosynthesis
takes place in the Chloroplast
Photosynthesis
takes place in the Mitochondria
Cellular Respiration
Powerhouse of the cell
Mitochondria
What is the chemical formula for sugar?
C₆H₁₂O₆
What is the formula for Photosynthesis?
CO₂ + H₂O —> C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
What is the formula for Cellular Respiration?
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O2 —> CO₂ + H₂O + ATP
What is the chemical formula for oxygen?
O₂
What is the chemical formula for water?
H₂O
What is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide?
CO₂
is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body.
