BIOLOGY Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Light Energy --> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂Carbon dioxide + water + Light Energy --> glucose + oxygen

Reactants --> products
What is the equation for cell respiration?

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 60₂--> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Energy

Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

Reactants --> Products
What is ATP?

A major energy-storing compound in both plant and animal cells
What does ATP stand for?

Adenosin Triphosphate
What is the role of ATP in organisms?

It stores energy.
List 3 examples of how ATP is used in a cell.
- 1. Active transport across cell membranes
- 2. Protein synthesis
- 3. Muscle contraction
Explain the carbon dioxide/oxygen cycle.

Oxygen is produced by plants and breathed in by animals. Animals produce carbon dioxide and it is used by plants.
