Cellular Respiration vs Photosynthesis

Take place (location) in the mitochondria of cells. Cellular Respiration Take place (location) in the mitochondria of cells. The starting materials/Reactants (input) Glucose (C₆H₁₂0₆) and Oxygen (O₂) The Process: Glucose in the cytoplasm is broken down into smaller molecules. These smaller molecules go into the mitochondria along with oxygen and get broken down even further. The products(output) Water (H₂O), Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) and Energy (ATP)

Cellular Respiration Energy Source Carbohydrates break down to glucose (simple sugars) Examples of carbohydrates include: Fruit Bread Cereal Vegetables Dairy Grains

Photosynthesis— The process that plant cells use to change the energy from sunlight into nutrients for the plant. The source of energy for all organisms ultimately comes from the Sun. Takes place (location) in the Chloroplast of plant cells. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which traps the sunlight.

How does photosynthesis work? The starting materials/Reactants (input) : Water (H₂O)+ Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) +Energy (sunlight) 2. The process: Carbon dioxide and water enter the plant cell’s chloroplast. Meanwhile, chlorophyll is capturing energy from the sun. 3. The products (output): Glucose (C₆H₁₂0₆) and Oxygen (O₂)
