photosynthesis
Endergonic process that traps light energy and converts it to stored chemical energy (sugar) for use by the cell. CO₂+H₂O+light → C6H12O6 + O₂
cellular respiration
Exergonic process in which organic food molecules are broken down to release ATP energy for use by the cell. C6H12O6 +O₂→CO₂+H₂O+ATP
reactant
Substance(s) that are present at the start of a chemical reaction. It is the part that undergoes change during a reaction (the old).
product
