Photosynthesis

The process by which plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using light energy.

Reactants of Photosynthesis

Carbon Dioxide (6CO₂) and Water (6H₂O).

Products of Photosynthesis

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and Oxygen (6O₂).

Glucose

Where light energy is stored.

Cellular Respiration

The process by which glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy to ATP.

Reactants of Cellular Respiration

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and Oxygen (6O₂).

Products of Cellular Respiration

Carbon Dioxide (6CO₂) and Water (6H₂O).

ATP

A rechargeable battery. The only way that energy can be used in cells.

Carbohydrates

CHO. Contains sugars and grains. Short term energy and the first choice of the body.

Lipids

CHO. Contains milk and meats. Long term energy and the bodies second choice.

Proteins

CHON. Contains meats and beans. Does the work in the body.

Nucleic Acids

CHONP. Contains DNA and RNA. Tells the cells what to do.

Oxygen

O₂
