photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Photosynthesis is the process that enables plants to get energy from the sun.

​

photosynthesis

Light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy by chlorophyll.

Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, cells found in the leaves of a plant.

​Facts about photosynthesis

​ Photosynthesis produces oxygen (O2) and chemical energy stored in glucose (a sugar).

What photosynthesis produces

Photosynthesis starts when chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight.

​

​When does Photosynthesis starts

Cellular Respiration is the process where cells break down glucose to release

​ energy for the cell to use. it happens in the mitochondria.

​What is cellular respiration

​Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and water
