  • Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide

    Photosynthesis is dependent on temperature. It is a reaction catalysed by enzymes. As the enzymes approach their optimum temperatures the overall rate increases. Above the optimum temperature the rate begins to decrease until it stops.

  • Comparing and Contrasting Photosynthesis and Aerobic Cellular Respiration

    # Overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is the opposite of that for photosynthesis: ATP energy + 6 CO2 + 6 H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 (cellular respiration) solar energy + 6 CO2 + 6 H2O <-- C6H12O6 + 6 O2 (photosynthesis) Cellular

  • Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

    It is produced and used during photosynthesis ACR: Energy is stored in this format. Initially ATP is needed for some of the chemical catalysis of glucose, but similar to photosynthesis overall there is more ATP synthesized than used.

  • Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Questions

    Campbell Photosynthesis reaction converts CO2 and water into sugars and O2. The overall equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6 H20 ----- C6H1206 + 602.

  • Comparison of cellular respiration and photosynthesis

    The molecules produced by the reaction are on the right side and these are the products. The chemical reaction for cellular respiration is the exact opposite of photosynthesis.

  • Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis is the basic reaction of green plants and many species of bacteria. The word photosynthesis means synthesis in presence of light (photo means light).

  • Photosynthesis, Glycolysis Fermentation and Enzyme Catalysts

    Include in your essay the three main steps of the cycle of enzyme-substrate interactions. Enzymes catalyze reactions by lowering the overall activation energy. This determines how fast a reaction can go.

  • Photosynthesis vs. Respiration Chart

    This reaction stores energy in the chemical bonds of glucose. Sugar and other carbohydrates are used as fuel sources by cells. During the process of Aerobic Cellular Respiration, glucose is broken down using oxygen.
