Question

Please explain what it means when we say photosynthesis and respiration are a cycle. you need to use the reactants (what is needed) and products (what is being made) to explain your answer. include the organelles involved. you could also discuss how photosynthesis and respiration are involved in keeping your body active. please write 5 sentences minimum to include all required information.

5 sentences minimum:

1.products/reactants photosynthesis
2.products/reactanats respiration
3.organelle-photosynthesis
4.organelle-respiration
5.what does it mean when we say photosynthesis and respiration are a cycle
pls help me!!!!

Answer 1

In photosynthesis, reactants such as carbon dioxide and water are used to create products such as glucose and oxygen. In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are used as reactants to create products such as carbon dioxide and water. The organelle involved in photosynthesis is the chloroplast, which contains chlorophyll and other pigments that absorb sunlight to convert it into chemical energy. The organelle involved in cellular respiration is the mitochondria, which converts the chemical energy in glucose and oxygen into a form that cells can use. Photosynthesis and respiration are a cycle because they are interconnected and dependent on each other. The glucose produced during photosynthesis is used as a reactant in cellular respiration, while the oxygen produced during photosynthesis is used as a reactant in cellular respiration. The carbon dioxide and water produced during respiration are used as reactants in photosynthesis.
