I have been asked to compare photosynthesis and respiration (occurrence in plants and occurance in animals). I am not sure how to go about answering this question.
Can someone explain it to me?
I am not sure about sources of electrons in photosynthesis and respiration.
If someone can explain this that would be great??
I think the source of electrons for photosynthesis would be water and light. Am I correct?
Still reading about respiration...
Also occurrence in photosynthesis...
Actually its for biology 12. I am doing a comparison table between respiration and photosynthesis. They only give you the option of using web, text and whatever resources you can find.
Right now I am comparing energy source of photosynthesis and respiration.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
so it would be 6Co2 + 6H20 + light energy ..right?
The free energy would that be the ATP?
Glucose + oxygen --------> carbon dioxide + water (free energy)
(aerobic respiration)
Plants are the only organisms that can turn sunlight into the little energy storage packages that we call sugar. When the sun is shining plants create photosynthesis, furiousily turning sunlight into stored energy. Everyday they turn the sun’s energy into millions tons of sugar.
I guess...
I am not sure about respiration but I know photosynthesis the energy is through light creating photosynthesis. By trapping the sunlight. Creating energy for plants since they cannot fed themselves. That energy creates glucose.
Am I right? If not please correct me.
If someone can help me...
I just want to know if the info that I am retaining is right.
The reactants of photosynthesis is
6H20 + 6CO2
which would be six molecules of water and six molecules of carbon dioxide.
The product - would be C6H12O6 + 6O2 which would be one molecule of sugar plus six molecules of O2...
