Question

carbon constantly cycles into, out of, and within the biosphere. two key biological processes of the carbon cycle are photosynthesis and cellular respiration, which primarily exchange carbon between the biosphere and the atmosphere.
identify the chemical inputs (reactants) and outputs (products) of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

photosynthesis: reactantsphotosynthesis: productscellular respiration: reactantscellular respiration: products
water
carbon dioxide
glucose

Explanation:

Step1: Recall photosynthesis equation

The equation for photosynthesis is $6CO_2 + 6H_2O+ light\ energy
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$. So carbon - dioxide and water are reactants, and glucose and oxygen are products.

Step2: Recall cellular respiration equation

The equation for cellular respiration is $C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O + energy$. So glucose and oxygen are reactants, and carbon - dioxide and water are products.
