Explanation:

Step1: Photosynthesis equation

In symbols: $6CO_2 + 6H_2O\xrightarrow{light\ energy, chlorophyll}C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$. In words: Carbon - dioxide and water, in the presence of light energy and chlorophyll, produce glucose and oxygen.

Step2: Photosynthesis reactants

Carbon - dioxide ($CO_2$) and water ($H_2O$).

Step3: Photosynthesis products

Glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($O_2$).

Step4: What goes into a plant

Carbon - dioxide ($CO_2$), water ($H_2O$), and light energy.

Step5: Plant as autotroph

The plant makes glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) for itself.

Step6: What plant gives to animals

Oxygen ($O_2$).

Step7: Photosynthesis location

Chloroplasts.

Step8: Cellular respiration equation

In symbols: $C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2+6H_2O + energy$. In words: Glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon - dioxide, water, and energy.

Step9: Cellular respiration reactants

Glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($O_2$).

Step10: Cellular respiration products

Carbon - dioxide ($CO_2$), water ($H_2O$), and energy (in the form of ATP).

Step11: Necessary for cellular respiration

Glucose and oxygen.

Step12: Anaerobic respiration

Anaerobic respiration is a process that occurs without oxygen. The two types are lactic - acid fermentation (performed by animals, some bacteria) and alcoholic fermentation (performed by yeast and some bacteria).

Step13: Process in cytoplasm

Glycolysis.

Step14: Cellular respiration location

Mitochondria (for aerobic respiration; glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm).
