Identify the products of cellular respiration and photosynthesis
icang [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

Cellular respiration:

C _ 6 H _ { 1 2 } O _ 6 \implies 6 C O _ 2 + 6 H _ 2 O + 3 8 A T P

Photosynthesis:

6CO_2+12H_2O \implies C_6H_{12}O_6 +6O_2+6H_2O

<u>Explanation:</u>

The process of breaking down the sugar into a form of usable energy by the cell is called cellular respiration.

It can be shown by an equation as:

C _ 6 H _ { 1 2 } O _ 6 \implies 6 C O _ 2 + 6 H _ 2 O + 3 8 A T P

So the product here includes ATP which is the energy along with carbon dioxide and water.

While photosynthesis is the process where sunlight is used to convert the carbon dioxide into sugars to be used as energy.

6CO_2+12H_2O \implies C_6H_{12}O_6 +6O_2+6H_2O

Here the products are sugars, oxygen and water.

A diagram of chloroplast stroma and thylakoid lumen showing chemical energy, ferredoxin, ferredoxin-N A D p reductase, A D P syn
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

If the electron transport system did not work, electrons from PSII would not be transferred to PSI. Ferredoxin would then have no electrons to transfer to NADP+ so NADPH would not be produced. This would also affect the light-independent reaction of photosynthesis because NADPH is needed in this reaction.
