Photo synthesis


Adenosine triphosphate (atp) - a molecule that releases energy


  • Sugar (also known as glucose)


Photosynthesis- process where plants use sunlight to make their own food


Carbon dioxide - CO2

Water - h2o

Glucose - c6 h12 o6


Photosynthesis formula (for plants): co2 + h20 + sunlight = glucose + o2


Formula process:


  1. Sunglight

  2. Co2(stomata)

        H20 - roots

  1. Glucose

  2. O2


Chlorophyll - the green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells


Cellular respiration:


Cellular respiration -  a process living organisms release energy to perform daily activities


Cellular respiration formula(for animals): glucose + o2 = co2 + h2o + energy (ATP)



Simplified Version for Photosynthesis and Celullar Respiration:



Jan ingenhousz


  • A Dutch scientist who showed that green parts of plants need sunlight to produce oxygen


"Only green leaves exposed to light can purify the air." -Jan ingenhousz
