Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy.
The Process
In order for photosynthesis to happen the plant will need a few ingredients. Sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. These ingredients will convert into glucose and oxygen. This conversion is possible by the light energy being chemical energy.

Chrlorophyll
Sunlight comes into this and this is where the glucose is made.
Sunlight
This an important ingredient for this process because this is what makes oxygen for us to breathe.
Carbon Dioxide
This is what the plant has to breathe so it can make the process happen.

When you cut your grass, do not put it in the dumpster for they help you breathe. What if it was opposite day. instead put it on the side so they can serve as compost for new grass to grow. Think about it.
Cellular Respiration
Hello again, what I am about to explain is actually a really good buddy with photosynthesis. Keep reading to find out how.
AHHH Chemicals
Cellular respiration has a lot of chemicals that it needs to work. Here they are: ATP, Carbon Dioxide, Water, NAD+, NADH, Pyruvates, and Glucose. In order for this to happen in the first place is the Calivin cycle.(performed after photosynthesis) At the end of this cycle the glucose made in photosynthesis is then transferred to a mitochandrion so it can make ATP. If oxygen is included the mitochandrion will undergo glycolysis. If no oxygen is included there will be NAD+ and NADH involved to make fermentation.
Cellular Respirations"s most popular actors
Mike the Mitochandria
This is were the whole process takes place
Glucose
This is what is needed to start the whole process.
Pyruvates
These guys are needed to make the ATP.

Don't just sit on the couch all day, MOVE. Cellular respiration makes you energy. Don't waste it. Someday it won't help you because you never used it. Get Active!
