Front

What are reactants?

Back

Raw materials that are found before the yields arrow.

Front

What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?

Back

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy.

Front

What role does water play in photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Water is a reactant of photosynthesis and a product of cellular respiration.

Front

How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related?

Back

The products of one reaction are the reactants of the other reaction.

Front

What are products in a chemical reaction?

Back

Substances that are found after the yields arrow.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back
