Question
## Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration ### Photosynthesis Equation The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the aid of chlorophyll. The generalized equation for photosynthesis is: \[ 6 \text{CO}_2 \text{ (Carbon Dioxide)} + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O (Water)} \xrightarrow{\text{Light}} \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \text{ (Sugar)} + 6 \text{O}_2 \text{ (Oxygen)} \] ### Aerobic Cellular Respiration Aerobic respiration involves breaking down sugar in the presence of oxygen to produce energy. #### Chemical Equation for Aerobic Respiration \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 6 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} + 36 \text{ ATP} \] ### Anaerobic Respiration Anaerobic respiration includes processes that do not require oxygen. #### Lactic Acid Fermentation Occurs in the muscles during intense activity when oxygen is scarce. \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \rightarrow 2 \text{C}_3\text{H}_6\text{O}_3 + 2 \text{ATP} \] #### Alcohol Fermentation Used by yeast and some other microorganisms. \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \rightarrow 2 \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} + 2 \text{CO}_2 + 2 \text{ATP} \] ### Discussion Question - What chemical reaction happens in your body that causes you to breathe out carbon dioxide? Explain your answer by talking about the inputs and outputs of the chemical reaction. (Level 3)
