Question

which resource is present in the equation for cellular respiration, but not photosynthesis? carbon dioxide sunlight atp oxygen

Explanation:

• Carbon dioxide: Present in both photosynthesis (reactant: \(6CO_2\)) and cellular respiration (product: \(6CO_2\)).
• Sunlight: Only in photosynthesis (energy source).
• ATP: Produced in cellular respiration (\(36 - 38ATP\) per glucose), not a reactant in photosynthesis (photosynthesis uses light energy, not ATP as a resource input in its equation).
• Oxygen: Product of photosynthesis (\(6O_2\)) and reactant in cellular respiration (\(6O_2\)).

Answer:

ATP
