Front

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

Back

They are opposite reactions—what is produced by one reaction is used by the other.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

glucose + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water + energy

Front

What necessary component is missing from this chemical equation for photosynthesis: carbon dioxide + water --> glucose + oxygen?

Back

sunlight

Front

Why would muscle cells need more mitochondria than other types of cells?

Back

They need more energy since they are the ones working the most.
