CELL ENERGY PROJECT

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

• Photosynthesis captures energy from the sun to make food for itself
• It takes place in the chloroplast of a plant cell
• The reactants are light energy, carbon dioxide and water
• The products are glucose and oxygen the plants use the sugar for food

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

• Cellular respiration is the process when a cell obtains energy from glucose
• Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria in both types of cells
• The reactants are glucose and oxygen animals get glucose from the food they eat and plants get it from photosynthesis
• The products are water, carbon dioxide and energy

FERMENTATION

• Is a energy releasing process that doesn't require energy
• Takes place in the cytoplasm in both types of cells
• The only reactant is glucose which comes from food.
• The products are lactic acid, carbon dioxide, alcohol and a small amount of energy
• Lactic acid and alcohol are both waste products that you don't need

CELLULAR RESPIRATION AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN A ENERGY CYCLE

• They both work together in the mitochondria
• Together both processes form a cycle that keeps the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide fairly constant in earths atmosphere

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES

• All processes meek some kind of waste
• They all make some kind of energy
• Photosynthesis only occurs in plants
• Photosynthesis makes energy from the sun the others do not
• Not as much energy comes out of fermentation then all the others

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES PART 2

• They all use glucose in the process
