Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Warm up

Reactants of one process....

... are the products of the other process

Energy captured from sunlight by photosynthetic organisms is used and released in the cellular respiration of living things

The energy that living things use, must continually be renewed through photosynthesis

We must obtain glucose from plants

Plants are the first step in the food chain

The oxygen released during photosynthesis is necessary for many organisms.

Once solar energy is converted to chemical energy by photosynthesis, it has to be changed to a form that can be used by the organism

Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen
