Processes in Plant & Animal Cells TEKS 7.5.A recognize that radiant energy from the sun is transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis TEKS 7.7B illustrate the transformation of energy within an organism such as the transfer from chemical energy to heat energy and thermal energy in digestion

Process name: Photosynthesis

Cell type: Plant

Location in cell: Chloroplasts

Reactants (Uses): Chlorophyll + sunlight + Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), & water (H 2 O)

Products (Makes): Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) & oxygen gas (O 2 )

Equation: CO 2 + H 2 O + sunlight => C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2

Radiant Energy Chemical Energy becomes Energy transformations:

Kinetic Energy Potential Energy becomes Energy transformations:

Process name: Cellular Respiration

Cell types: Plant & Animal

Location in cell: Mitochondria

Reactants (Uses): Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) & oxygen gas (O 2 )

Products (Makes): Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), water (H 2 O), and energy (ATP)

Equation: C 6 H 12 O 6 + O 2 => CO 2 + H 2 O + energy (ATP)
