What is the equation for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide + water —> glucose + oxygen + water
6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What does the process of cellular respiration do?
The overall process of cellular respiration converts sugars into ATP using oxygen.
Photosynthetic organisms are what kind of organism on a trophic pyramid?
producers
Which process takes place in the inner membrane of mitochondria?
the ETC
what is the role of chlorophyll in the chloroplasts?
absorb the sunlight energy
overall photosynthesis is what type of rxn when it comes to energy loss or gain?
endothermic
What is the equation for cellular respiration?
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
as you go up a food pyramid, how much energy is transferred to the next energy level?
