Photosynthesis occurs in plant cells containing chloroplasts, which use chlorophyll to capture sunlight energy and convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria of both plant and animal cells, using oxygen to break down glucose into carbon dioxide, water, and release chemical energy that was stored from photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis
- 1. Photosynthesis/Cellular Respiration By Ricky & Gera
- 2. Photosynthesis • Photosynthesis – is the process that plants cell use to change the energy from sunlight into chemical energy • Takes place in plant cells that have chloroplast. • Chloroplast contain chlorophyll, green pigment the traps energy.
- 3. Steps • The plant takes in carbon dioxide from the air and water from soil • Chlorophyll captures energy from sunlight which is used to change carbon dioxide and water into new products. • The plant releases most of the oxygen into the air 6H2O + 6CO2 + Light Energy = C6H1206 + 6O2
- 4. Cellular Respiration • Cells use oxygen to release energy stored in sugars such as glucose. • Takes place in mitochondria. • Both in animal and plant cells
- 5. Steps • Starts with glucose and oxygen • Glucose in cytoplasm is broken down into smaller molecules. Releases small amount of energy. They move into the mitochondria. Also oxygen enters the cell and into the mitochondria. Smaller molecules are broken down even further, hydrogen is released in a way that allows cells to capture energy hydrogen combines with oxygen to make water. • C6h1206 + 602= chemical energy +6h20+6C02
