Question

the model illustrates the relationship between photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration. write balanced chemical equations showing the relationship between the two processes.
a $h_2o + co_2 = c_6h_{12}o_6 + o_2$
b $6h_2o + 6co_2 + sunlight = 6o_2 + c_6h_{12}o_6 + atp$
c $6h_2o + 6co_2 + sunlight = 6o_2 + c_6h_{12}o_6$
d $6o_2 + c_6h_{12}o_6 = 6co_2 + 6h_2o + atp$

Explanation:

Step1: Write the photosynthesis equation

Photosynthesis: \(6H_2O + 6CO_2+\text{sunlight}=6O_2 + C_6H_{12}O_6\)

Step2: Write the aerobic cellular respiration equation

Aerobic cellular respiration: \(6O_2 + C_6H_{12}O_6=6CO_2 + 6H_2O+ATP\)

Answer:

Photosynthesis: \(6H_2O + 6CO_2+\text{sunlight}=6O_2 + C_6H_{12}O_6\); Aerobic cellular respiration: \(6O_2 + C_6H_{12}O_6=6CO_2 + 6H_2O+ATP\)
