Photosynthesis&Cellular Respiration
Zawad and Rishabh
Photosynthesis (only in plant cells)
Chemical equation - 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6+ 6O2
Molecules:
CO2 (Carbon dioxide) - taken in during photosynthesis
O2 (Oxygen) - released during photosynthesis
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) - transports the chemical energy in the cells
C6H12O6 (Glucose) - the end product of photosynthesis
Structures:
Chloroplast - converts the light energy from the sun, to produce sugars (glucose), so it can be used by the cell
Leaves - holds chloroplast, the stomata is located under the leaf to absorb carbon dioxide.
Stems - supports the plant's structure and carries water from the roots to the leaves
Roots - absorb the water
The sun is very important because it gives the energy the plant uses for photosynthesis.
Cellular Respiration
Chemical equation - C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight
Molecules:
O2 (Oxygen) - taken in during cellular respiration
CO2 (Carbon dioxide) - removed during cellular respiration
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) - transports the chemical energy in the cells
Structure:
Mitochondria - an organelle that transfers ATP into oxygen and gains energy for the cell to use
Lungs - an organ that draws in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide (only in animal cells)
Small intestines - removes carbon dioxide from the cell while adding oxygen to it
Villi - supports the small intestine
Bloodstream - Oxygen and carbon dioxide travels through the bloodstream
