To determine which diagram accurately represents the use of gases in cellular respiration and photosynthesis, let's break down the processes:
-
Cellular Respiration:
- Reactants: Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2)
- Products: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O)
-
Photosynthesis:
- Reactants: Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O)
- Products: Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2)
From these processes, we can see that:
- In cellular respiration, oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is produced.
- In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is used and oxygen is produced.
A diagram showing these gas exchanges would typically indicate:
- Oxygen going into the cellular respiration (as a reactant) and carbon dioxide being produced (as a product).
- Carbon dioxide going into photosynthesis (as a reactant) and oxygen being produced (as a product).
Look for a diagram that illustrates this cycle clearly, perhaps with arrows showing:
- Oxygen being used in cellular respiration
- Carbon dioxide being used in photosynthesis
- Oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis
- Carbon dioxide as a byproduct of cellular respiration.
If you have the specific diagrams to choose from, I can help assess which one matches this explanation!
