LT: I can compare and contrast cellular respiration and photosynthesis

Instructions:

1. Use your notebooks and notes to complete the following table.

2. PASTE in your science journals when you’re done.

RESPIRATION PHOTOSYNTHESIS EQUATION WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS PROCESS? WHAT TYPE OF CELLS DOES THIS OCCUR IN? WHICH PARTS OF THE CELL DOES THIS OCCUR IN? (Might be different for each stage) Respiration vs Photosynthesis Notes Cellular Respiration: Cellular respiration is a complex series of chemical reactions that harvests the energy trapped in the bonds of glucose sugar molecules and converts it into a chemical form that can be stored for later use. Humans and other animals obtain glucose sugar molecules from food, such as the fruits and grains

**Essential to the survival of most organisms on Earth, cellular respiration yields the energy that makes our bodies function properly.

Photosynthesis: Plants create glucose sugars in the process of photosynthesis, by converting sunlight into glucose
