Question

The model illustrates the relationship between photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration. Write balanced chemical equations showing the relationship between the two processes.

A) H2O + CO2 ⇒ C6H12O6 + O2
B) 6H20 + 6CO2 + sunlight ⇄ 6O2 + C6H12O6
C) 6H20 + 6CO2 + sunlight ⇒ 6O2 + C6H12O6 + ATP
D) 6H20 + 6CO2 + sunlight ⇒ 6O2 + C6H12O6
6O2 + C6H12O6 ⇒ 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Answer 1

D) 6H20 + 6CO2 + sunlight ⇒ 6O2 + C6H12O6

6O2 + C6H12O6 ⇒ 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

6H20 + 6CO2 + sunlight ⇒ 6O2 + C6H12O6

6O2 + C6H12O6 ⇒ 6CO2 + 12H2O + ATP

Answer 2

The balanced chemical equation showing relationship between photosynthesis and aerobic respiration are

`6H_2 O+6CO_2+sunlight \rightarrow 6O_2+C_6  H_12 O_6`

`6O_2 + C_6 H_1_2 O_6 \rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2 O+ATP`

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the basic process by which plants derive energy. They require sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to perform photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and water combine in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. Energy is obtained from this glucose.

In aerobic respiration glucose combines with oxygen and gets broken down into carbon dioxide, water and energy. This energy is in the form of ATP.
