1. Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

2. Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants store energy from sunlight as glucose
Takes place in the chloroplast
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll: a molecule that captures light energy

3. Carbon dioxide and water are converted to glucose and oxygen
Photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide and water are converted to glucose and oxygen
Energy from sunlight is used to power the reaction
Reactants
Products

4. Aerobic Cellular Respiration
Cells that have mitochondria (including plants!) can perform aerobic cellular respiration when O2 is present
glucose and oxygen are needed to produce a large amount of ATP (between 36 and 38)
Carbon dioxide and water are released as waste products
Reactants
Products

5. Anaerobic Cellular Respiration
Some cells are able to respire without oxygen—this is anaerobic respiration
Glucose is broken down to release 2 ATP and various waste products:
Lactic acid in muscle cells
Alcohol and CO2 in yeast and bacterial cells NO
2 ATP
Lactic acid OR
Alcohol & CO2 O2
