To correctly pair the products and reactants with their place in the model of the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration, we need to understand the general equations for both processes:
-
Photosynthesis:
- Reactants: carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)
- Products: glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)
The equation for photosynthesis can be summarized as: \[ 6CO_2 + 6H_2O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \]
-
Cellular Respiration:
- Reactants: glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2)
- Products: water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
The equation for cellular respiration can be summarized as: \[ C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \rightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O \]
Based on this information, you can pair the items as follows:
- Drop target 1 (Photosynthesis reactants): water and carbon dioxide
- Drop target 2 (Photosynthesis products): oxygen and glucose
- Drop target 3 (Cellular Respiration reactants): glucose and oxygen
- (Cellular Respiration products): water and carbon dioxide
With this understanding, here’s how you can correctly fill in the drop targets according to the model:
- Drop target 1: water and carbon dioxide (for photosynthesis reactants)
- Drop target 2: oxygen and glucose (for photosynthesis products)
- Drop target 3: glucose and oxygen (for cellular respiration reactants)
This setup should help you visualize the connection between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
