Photosynthesis |
-plant cells make their own food through photosynthesis -they use light energy (absorbed by chloroplasts) to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen - Energy is stored as glucose for later use -Plant cells still rely on mitochondria to metabolize glucose, like animal cells to use energy |
|
|
Word and chemical equation for photosynthesis |
W: carbon dioxide + water + energy (light) —> glucose + water C: CO2 + H2O + energy—-> C6H12O6 + O2 |

What is cellular respiration? |
-converts stored energy (glucose) into an easily usable form -Requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as waste products -Takes place in the mitochondria of animal and plant cells |
