Question

match each description in column a with the correct term or chemical equation in column b. process that converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose choose process that releases energy by breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen choose equation that models the conservation of matter during photosynthesis choose equation that models the transfer of energy and conservation of matter in respiration choose

Explanation:

1. Photosynthesis is the process that converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
2. Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose in the presence of oxygen.
3. The chemical equation for photosynthesis ($6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light

ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$) models the conservation of matter during photosynthesis.

1. The chemical equation for cellular respiration ($C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2

ightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O+energy$) models the transfer of energy and conservation of matter in respiration.

Answer:

1. Photosynthesis
2. Cellular respiration
3. $6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light

ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$

1. $C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2

ightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O+energy$
