Chemical Equations for Cellular Respiration/ Photosynthesis
Anaerobic Respiration-C(6)H(12)O(6)------->2C(3)H(6)O(3)+ENERGY
Aerobic Respiration- C(6)H(6)O(60----->6CO(2)+6H(2)O+ENERGY
Photosynthesis - 6CO(2) + 6H(2)O ------> C(6)H(12)O(6) + 6O(2)Aerobic Respiration
Aerobic produces a lot of energy (ATP). The sugar required for ATP is produced by the breaking down of food in the villi of the small intestine. Sugar and oxygen are delivered to cells through the bloodstream. The process occurs partially in the mitochondria as lungs pull in the oxygen the mitochondria needs to burn the sugar and remove carbon dioxide. The process of sugar being broken down by the cells is called glycolysis, It enters the cell through facilitated diffusion. It then goes through the Kreb's Cycle and then the process along the electron transport chain. This produces about 38 ATP molecules.
Photosynthesis
The process takes place mostly in the chloroplasts of plant leaf mesophyll cells. It starts from water being taken up by the roots through capillary action, and then travelling through the xylem to the leaf. The energy for photosynthesis comes from sunlight. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis.
Anaerobic Respiration
This process is also called fermentation and it doesn't require oxygen and produces lactic acid and less energy than aerobic respiration..
