Compare and Contrast, Using Chemical Formula of Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration. By EunBi Ko

Definition Photosynthesis : the process which green plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food and oxygen. Photosynthesis : the process which green plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food and oxygen. Cellular Respiration : the process of oxidizing food molecules or breaking down chemical bonds of glucose into carbon dioxide and water. Cellular Respiration : the process of oxidizing food molecules or breaking down chemical bonds of glucose into carbon dioxide and water.

Chemical formula Photosynthesis Photosynthesis Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight --> Glucose + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight --> Glucose + Oxygen 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Sunlight --> C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Sunlight --> C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 Cellular Respiration Cellular Respiration Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy Glucose + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 --> 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Energy (36 ATP) C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 --> 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Energy (36 ATP)
