Question

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

Explanation:

• Cellular respiration equation: \(C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2

ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+ATP\). Oxygen (\(O_2\)) is a reactant.

• Photosynthesis equation: \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light

ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). Oxygen (\(O_2\)) is a product, not a reactant (resource for the process).

• ATP is a product in cellular respiration and used in photosynthesis (but not as a'resource' in the equation sense here).
• Sunlight is only in photosynthesis equation.
• Carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) is in both (reactant in photosynthesis, product in cellular respiration).

Answer:

Oxygen
