Input of the Process
Main Reactant
Carbon-dioxide and Water
Main product of the process
Glucose
In a food chain, organisms that use photosynthesis are known as these.
Producers
One main difference between Photosynthesis and Respiration based on Energy - Produced or Released
Photosynthesis - Store energy
Respiration - Release energy
Reaction Stimulator
Sunlight
By Product of the Process
Oxygen
Without photosynthesis, this molecule—essential for cellular respiration in most living organisms—would not be released into the atmosphere.
Oxygen
These tiny organelles are where photosynthesis and respiration take place in plant cells.
Chloroplast and Mitochondria
Part of the Leaf responsible for the intake of one of the reactant
Mesophyll region - Palisade and Spongy
From which part of the leaf - the by product is released out into the atmosphere?
Stomata
Photosynthesis is the foundation of food webs because it provides this to all organisms, either directly or indirectly.
Energy
This molecule is produced during photosynthesis and is broken down during respiration to release energy
Glucose
Name of Cell organelle where the process takes place
Chloroplast
How will you confirm that at the end Photosynthesis process starch is produced and stored?
Iodine test -
Dark Blue = Positive (starch is produced/stored)
No color change = Negative (No starch Present - old leaves, absence of Chloroplast - yellowing in leaf)
This type of organism, such as phytoplankton or grass, initiates energy flow in both terrestrial and aquatic food webs by converting solar energy into glucose through photosynthesis.
Autotrophs
While photosynthesis stores energy by converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose, this opposite process releases energy by breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen.
Cellular Respiration - Energy produced by the Cell (Mitochondria)
