What describes best how energy is transformed during photosynthesis?

Light energy is stored in glucose molecules

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration in cells?

To release the energy stored in food

Which organelle is responsible for releasing energy during cellular respiration?

Mitochondria

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

6CO2+6H2O + sunlight — C6H12O6 + 6O2

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 + 6O2 — 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

What is one way carbon enters the atmosphere?

Photosynthesis

During photosynthesis, carbon…

Is taken in by plants and stored as glucose

Which 2 processes are the main drivers of the carbon cycle between the atmosphere and biosphere?

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis

Use the terms photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and carbon dioxide to explain how carbon moves between the bioshere and the atmosphere

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which creates glucose. Then, cellular respiration releases carbon back into the atmosphere

Using the model, explain why photosynthesis is important to aquatic life.

Photosynthesis is important to aquatic life because it produces survival essentials such as glucose and oxygen

SECOND MODEL:

Explain what this model is demonstrating about carbon moving between the atmosphere and the biosphere?

This model demonstrates the movement of carbon between the atmosphere and biosphere through photosynthesis and cellular respiration

What changes in the model from day to night? Why?

The model shows the shift of photosynthesis to cellular respiration. Photosynthesis uses light energy to create chemical energy. At night, photosynthesis stops without light. Plants and animals mainly perform cellular respiration

Complete the diagram by filling in the blanks to show the cycling of carbon between plants and animals to store and release energy

To complete the diagram, it would need to show the carbon cycles between plants and animals. Plants take in from CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and convert it into glucose. Animals eat plants, receiving the CO2 in the form of glucose.
