Q

chemical reaction.

A

photosynthesis and respiration appear to be the opposite chemical reactions, they complement each other to make radiant energy available for cellular work in all living organisms.

Q

chemical potential energy.

A

the chemical energy is stored in organic food for example glucose in the form of chemical potential energy. to release the energy from the molecules, a very specific process takes place in each living cell. THIS PROCESS IS CALLED CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

Q

photosynthesis

A

6co2 [carbon dioxide 2] + 6h20 [water] + light energy –> c6h12o6 [glucose] + 6o2 [carbon dioxide ]

Q

cellular respiration equation

A

c6h12o6 [glucose] + 6o2 [ carbon dioxide] –> 6co2 [carbon dioxide] + 6h2o + ATP [energy in ATP]

Q

energy is photosynthesis and cellular respiration

A

the two processes, photosynthesis and respiration, are bothe essential to allow energy to flow from the sun to all the organisms in the food (plants and animals) in an ecosystem.
