What is the equation for respiration?

C6H12O2 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O sugar oxygen carbon dioxide water

What substances are needed for photosynthesis? What substances are produced during photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide and water, oxygen and sugar are the products.

How do plants obtain energy?

Plants get food from sunlight called photosynthesis. They use the energy from the sun and convert it into carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugars.

Is fermentation more likely to occur during a short run or a long walk?

Short run because you are going fast enough where you can't produce as much oxygen as you're taking in.

Would you expect a plant to produce more oxygen on a cloudy day or a sunny day?

Sunny day because that's where plants get their food so that's where/when the oxygen is produced.
