Question

Identify the products of cellular respiration and photosynthesis

Answer 1

Cellular respiration:

`C _ 6 H _ { 1 2 } O _ 6 \implies 6 C O _ 2 + 6 H _ 2 O + 3 8 A T P`

Photosynthesis:

`6CO_2+12H_2O \implies C_6H_(12)O_6 +6O_2+6H_2O`

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of breaking down the sugar into a form of usable energy by the cell is called cellular respiration.

It can be shown by an equation as:

`C _ 6 H _ { 1 2 } O _ 6 \implies 6 C O _ 2 + 6 H _ 2 O + 3 8 A T P`

So the product here includes ATP which is the energy along with carbon dioxide and water.

While photosynthesis is the process where sunlight is used to convert the carbon dioxide into sugars to be used as energy.

`6CO_2+12H_2O \implies C_6H_(12)O_6 +6O_2+6H_2O`

Here the products are sugars, oxygen and water.
