Photosynthesis & Respiration Review

Photosynthesis• Performed by producers such as plants• Makes Food• Takes place in the chloroplast

Photosynthesis

• Need Water, Sunlight (Energy), and Carbon dioxide (CO2)

• Produces Glucose/Sugar and Oxygen

Cellular Respiration• Performed by all living organisms• Makes Energy (ATP)• Take place in the mitochondria

Respiration• Needs Glucose (Sugar) and Oxygen• Makes Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Energy

It’s a Cycle!

• Plants make food and oxygen through photosynthesis– They release the oxygen; We breathe it in

• All cells make energy and carbon dioxide through respiration– We release the carbon dioxide; Plants take it in to
