Photosynthesis is a process used by plants, which is done to make food (glucose/sugar). Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide (CO2), sunlight, and water (H2O) which would create glucose (sugar), and oxygen (O2). A compound is a group of 2 or more different atoms combined chemically. The compounds that is included for photosynthesis is carbon dioxide and water.
During cellular respiration, cells produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) by breaking down glucose and other organic molecules in the presence of oxygen. Carbon dioxide and water are also produced as byproducts.
Oxygen is a gaseous product of photosynthesis, produced when plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
The word equation for respiration is glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy (in the form of ATP).
In photosynthesis, the carbon dioxide molecules are being reduced, while the water molecules are being oxidized In photosynthesis, the carbon dioxide molecules are being reduced, while the water molecules are being oxidized
