What is the formula of glucose

C6H12O6

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP energy

Write the equation for photosynthesis?

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy —>C6H12O6 + 6O2.

What type of food is glucose

A type of sugar

How do we get glucose

Eating different foods and breaking it down with our digestive system

Which types of organisms use cellular respiration?

Humans, plants, bacteria, animals

What is the function of ATP in humans and plants

Humans- transports proteins and lipids in and out of the cell to grow, reproduce, and exercise Plants-capture and store energy they get from the sun to grow, reproduce, and build/repair.

Which organelle does photosynthesis occur in

Inside cells, inside plant leaves

Does cellular respiration make the energy needed for biological processes?

No, initial energy from sun> chemical energy> in glucose> ATP energy transfers energy to different forms

Which type of organisms use photosynthesis

Plants, trees, shrubs, cyano bacteria

Why do these organisms need photosynthesis

So they can make their own food in the form of sugar or glucose

Oxygen and glucose are two things we need for cellular respiration. Why do we have to constantly breathe, but we don't constantly have to eat?

So we can continuously make ATP, to release carbon dioxide so our blood doesn't become toxic, we don't have to eat as much because our body can store food as fat.

What happens to all the weight of the food we eat each year? Where do the atoms in the food molecules go?

Some get stored as fat, non nutrient food leaves the body as waste, atoms can get rearranged into different structures

Why do plants need both cellular respiration and photosynthesis

They need energy to grow, reproduce,build,and repair. They use cellular respiration to convert chemical energy in sugar to ATP.

Why do these organisms need celular respiration

To convert chemical energy and sugar to ATP in our cells so we can grow, reproduce, make new cells, carry out life tasks.

How do we get oxygen?

We get it from plants by breathing

List three ways your life would be different if you could make your own food through photosynthesis

We would take in carbon dioxide not oxygen, don't have to eat, drink more water

Which organelle does cellular respiration occur in?

mitochondria
