photosynthesis cellular respiration glucose carbon dioxide mitochondria
water oxygen sunlight atp chloroplasts
the outputs/products of photosynthesis are the ____ of ____.
the outputs/products of cellular respiration are the ____ of ____.
the purpose of photosynthesis is ______.
the purpose of cellular respiration is ______.
photosynthesis is done by ______.
cellular respiration is done by ______.

Explanation:

• Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen.
• Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria, using glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.
• The outputs of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the inputs of cellular respiration.
• The outputs of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) are the inputs of photosynthesis.
• The purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose).
• The purpose of cellular respiration is to convert chemical energy (glucose) into ATP (usable energy).
• Photosynthesis is done by plants (and some bacteria and protists).
• Cellular respiration is done by all eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, fungi, etc.).
