Question

the chemistry of cellular respiration
shown below is the chemical equation for cellular respiration with symbols for the reactants and products of the reaction.
label the diagram below and color it.
□ glucose (purple)
□ carbon dioxide (green)
□ oxygen (red)
□ water (blue)
□ atp (orange)

1. products are what is created during a reaction. what are the three products of cellular respiration?
2. reactants are what goes into the reaction, what are the two reactants needed for respiration to occur?
3. what would happen if oxygen were not available?
4. refer to your notes or textbook to write down the equation for photosynthesis.
5. how are photosynthesis and cellular respiration similar?

Explanation:

1. In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to produce carbon - dioxide, water, and ATP. So the three products are carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.
2. The two reactants for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen.
3. If oxygen is not available, cells may switch to anaerobic respiration (fermentation), which produces less ATP and different by - products like lactic acid or ethanol depending on the organism.
4. The equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O\xrightarrow{light\ energy}C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\).
5. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in that they both involve energy conversion. Photosynthesis stores energy in glucose, while cellular respiration releases energy from glucose. Also, the products of one process are the reactants of the other.

Answer:

1. Carbon Dioxide, Water, ATP
2. Glucose, Oxygen
3. Cells may switch to anaerobic respiration (fermentation), producing less ATP and different by - products like lactic acid or ethanol depending on the organism.
4. \(6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O\xrightarrow{light\ energy}C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}\)
5. Both involve energy conversion and the products of one are the reactants of the other.
