the equation for photosynthesis

carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
equation for cellular respiration

oxygen + glucose = carbon dioxide + water + energy
where is the final stage of cellular respiration carried out?

mitochondria
what is cellular respiration?

the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other molecules te presence of oxygen
ATP
- used b all types of cells as the main energy source
- three phosphate groups
- starts as ADP
ADP

has two phosphate groupd
how do photosynthesis and cellular respiration work together?
- Photosyntheis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and celluar respiration puts it back
- Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere and cellular respiration uses that oxygen to realase energy from the food
