photosynthesis
the process by which a cell captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make food
respiration
the process of breaking down simple food molecules to release the energy they contain
chlorophyll
green pigment in chloroplasts that allows sunlight to be captured for photosynthesis
chloroplast
organelle found in plant cells; where photosynthesis occurs
mitochondria
organelle found in plant and animal cells; where cellular respiration occurs
reactant
the raw materials that react with
each other to form a substance
product
the substances that result from a reaction
chemical equation for photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water + sunlight ----> glucose + oxygen
chemical equation for cellular respiration
glucose + oxygen ----> water + carbon dioxide + energy
products of photosynthesis
glucose + oxygen
products of cellular respiration
water + carbon dioxide + energy
reactants for photosynthesis
CO2 + H2O + sunlight
reactants for cellular respiration
C6H12O6 + O2
