PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CELLULAR RESPIRATION
The sun has been worshiped in many cultures around the entire world since ancient Egyptian times (14th century BCE). Why? "The sun is the bestower of light and life to the totality of the cosmos..." (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/573676/sun-worship). The sun sustains life. Without the sun, plants could not grow, and since we are dependent on plants for oxygen and food, we would not be able to live. How is the energy from the sun used to sustain life? Well, Photosynthesis of course! In this unit, we will learn how plants change energy from the sun into chemical energy (glucose) inside the chloroplasts. We will also learn about the chemical process, called Cellular Respiration that changes glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP) in the mitochondria of animal and plant cells. Plants need carbon dioxide and water to grow. Do you see how Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are related? Check out these chemical equations. Do you see the relationship?
Photosynthesis: Sunlight + 6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6H2O + 6CO2+ energy
Photosynthesis: Sunlight + 6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6H2O + 6CO2+ energy
