Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Photosynthesis
Definition:process in which plant cells convert the energy from sunlight into chemical energy inside the chloroplasts
Source of Energy for Plant Cells
Sunlight
Photosynthesis Equation
6H2O + 6CO2 + Light Energy C6H12O6 + 6O2
Where do the products of Photosynthesis go?
1) Plants use the glucose for their own cellular processes
2) Plants store glucose in the form of starch
3) Animals eat the plants and as a result get glucose and starch from them
4) Animals breathe in oxygen
Cellular Respiration
Definition:Process in which cells use oxygen to release energy stored in sugars inside the mitochondria
Source of Energy for Animal Cells
Food
Cellular Respiration Equation
C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chemical Energy + 6H2O + 6CO2
Where do the products of Cellular Respiration go?
1) Animal cells use the chemical energy for their own cellular processes
2) Released as heat
3) Release carbon dioxide for plant cells
