Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Photosynthesis creates glucose molecules (instead of eating) → this fuels cellular respiration in the plant cells →
which creates ATP → which fuels plant growth and reproduction → which provides carbohydrates to animals
for their cellular respiration. The energy cycle continues. The formula in plants is:
6 CO2
+
6 H2O
+ Light Energy
C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2
