PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

• The process of changing light energy
• (From the sun or other light source to chemical energy)
• This energy is stored as sugars (a carbohydrate)
• Where does it happen?
• In plants and some algae it also happens in the chloroplast of a cell

RESPIRATION

• There are two types of respiration breathing and cell respiration
• Cellular respiration is a chemical reaction
• It happens in the mitochondria of all cells
• It breaks down glucose into carbon dioxide, ATP and Water
• It's also the reverse of photosynthesis

EQUATION

• 6CO(2)+6H(2)O=C(6)H(12)O(6)+6O(2)
• C(6)H(12)O(6)+6O(2)=6CO(2)+6H(2)O

Untitled Slide

• Carbon dioxide: colorless odorless gas produced by burning organic compounds
• Oxygen: gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere
• Glucose: a sugar, Having several optically different forms.
• Sunlight: the light of the sun, sunshine
• Water: a tasteless liquid, compound of hydrogen and oxygen

Untitled Slide

• ATP: an ester of adenosine and triphosphoric acid
• Chloroplast: a pocket that has chlorophyll
• Mitochondria: an organelle in the cytoplasm of cells that functions in energy production
• Chlorophyll:matter of leaves and plants,essential to the carbohydrates by photosynthesis
• Stomata: little slits in leafs lets in carbon and let's out oxygen

QUESTIONS!!!!

• What's the opposite of photosynthesis?
• Where does cellular respiration occur?
• What are two types of respuration?
• Where does photosynthesis occur?
• What's the plants energy stored as?

ANSWERS

• Respiration
• It happens in the mitochondria
• Breathing and cellular respiration
• In the chloroplast or in plants
• Sugar
