Photosynthesis andCellular Respiration

Photosynthesis

• Is the process by which plants

• convert energy from the sun

• into food

In Photosynthesis

• The plant’s chlorophyll takes energy from the sun

• combines it with carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

• and water from the plant

• To create glucose (carbohydrates/food) and oxygen

Chemical Formula for Photosynthesis

Sunlight + 6CO2 + 6H2O = 6O2 + C6H12O6

The plant’s chlorophyll uses sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make oxygen and glucose (food).

Cellular Respiration

• is the process by which the a cell combines oxygen with glucose (carbohydrates/food) and releases water, carbon dioxide and energy (ATP).

Chemical Formula for Cellular Respiration

6O2 + C6H12O6 -->  6H2O + 6CO2 + energy

6O2 + C6H12O6 =  6H2O + 6CO2 + energy (ATP)

Sunlight energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O = 6O2 + C6H12O6

6O2 + C6H12O6 =  6H2O + 6CO2 + energy (ATP)

Sunlight energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O = 6O2 + C6H12O6

6O2 + C6H12O6 =  6H2O + 6CO2 + energy (ATP)

Sunlight energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O = 6O2 + C6H12O6

6O2 + C6H12O6 =  6H2O + 6CO2 + energy (ATP)

Sunlight energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O = 6O2 + C6H12O6

6O2 + C6H12O6 =  6H2O + 6CO2 + energy (ATP)

Sunlight energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O = 6O2 + C6H12O6

6O2 + C6H12O6 =  6H2O + 6CO2 + energy (ATP)

Sunlight energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O = 6O2 + C6H12O6
