Question

photosynthesis and respiration model
essential question: what is the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration?
scientific modeling is an activity that aims to make the world easier to understand. there are many types of models, some are mathematical,
and some are graphical models that help us visualize the subject. the graphic below is a model that attempts to show the interdependence o
two cellular processes: respiration and photosynthesis.
your goal is to examine the model, focus on the key details to answer the essential question.
photosynthesis:
$6\ce{co_2} + 6\ce{h_2o} + \text{energy} \longrightarrow \ce{c_6h_{12}o_6} + 6\ce{o_2}$
respiration:
$\ce{c_6h_{12}o_6} + 6\ce{o_2} \longrightarrow 6\ce{co_2} + 6\ce{h_2o} + \text{energy}$
i. examine details

1. in what cell organelle does photosynthesis occur?
2. what are the three things needed for photosynthesis? highlight them on the diagram in green.
3. what are the two products of photosynthesis? highlight yellow.

Explanation:

1. Identified the organelle linked to photosynthesis in the diagram.
2. Extracted the required inputs for photosynthesis from the provided chemical equation and diagram.
3. Extracted the resulting outputs of photosynthesis from the provided chemical equation and diagram.

Answer:

1. Chloroplast
2. Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), water ($H_2O$), sunlight energy
3. Glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$), oxygen ($O_2$)
