PHOTOSYNTHeSis and

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Photosynthesis and Cellular

Respiration are chemical reactions

that are essential to the function of

the cell.

Inputs to Photosynthesis

● Inputs = the substances that enter the cell.

What are the inputs for photosynthesis?

1. Carbon Dioxide:

2. Water:

3. Solar Energy:

• comes from the air
• goes into the leaves
• enters from the soil
• goes into the roots
• comes from the Sun
• goes into the leaves and is absorbed by the chloroplast

What are the inputs for photosynthesis?

What are the outputs of photosynthesis?

1. Oxygen

2. Glucose (sugar)

• comes out from the leaves
• goes into the air
• Used by the mitochondria to give the cell energy

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

INPUTS OUTPUTS

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

• A chemical reaction that happens in plants and animals.
• The mitochondria breaks down glucose (sugar) to give the cell energy.

Cellular Respiration

Inputs:

1. Oxygen from the air.
2. Glucose (sugar) from food.

Outputs:

1. Water

• Eliminated from the body in the sweat or urine.

2. Carbon Dioxide

• eliminated when we exhale.

3. Energy for the cell to function!

Plant Cells Animal Cells

1)Form Rectangular^ Somewhat round

2. Organelles Chloroplast, Cell wall, large vacuole +all of the other organelles as animals cells.

Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm, Rough and Smooth ER, vacuole, mitochondria, lysosome, ribosomes, golgi.

3. Food Source Makes its own glucose^ Eats plants and other animalsto get glucose

4. Chemical Reactions
