What are the formulas (inputs and outputs) of Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration?
Photosynthesis: 6co2 +6H2o = o2+ Glucose
Cellular Respiration: Glucose +o2 = Co2+ H2o+ATP
What are the two main types of ecological succession, and what do they mean?
1. PRIMARY SUCCESSION: This describes an area that is newly exposed or created; where no living things are present when started.
2. SECONDARY SUCCESSION: This describes areas that still contain soil and key nutrients after a disturbance.
