1
Q
Chemical equation for photosynthesis
A
6CO2 + 6H2O + light = C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbon dioxide + water +light = glucose + oxygen
2
Q
Chemical equation for cellular respiration
A
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> H2O + 6CO + energy
Glucose + oxygen -> water + carbon dioxide + energy
3
Q
What are the steps of photosynthesis?
A
Light dependent reactions, which converts sunlight in chemical energy, NADPH, and ATP, occurs in the thylakoid.
Light independent reactions/ the Calvin cycle, which converts ATP and NADPH in stable carbohydrates for long term storage. Occurs in the stroma.

Q
What are the steps to cellular respiration?
A
Glycolysis
Krebs cycle, occurs in the mitochondria and produces carbon dioxide, NADPH, FADH2, and ATP
