Which of the following is the correct equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

• 6CO₂ + 6H₂O --> 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆
• 6CO₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6H₂O --> O₂ 
• 6O₂ + 6H₂O --> 6CO₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆
• C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ---> 6H₂O + 6CO₂

What characteristic sets heterotrophs apart from autotrophs?

• Heterotrophs can be classified only as mammals.
• Heterotrophs use energy from the sun to make their own food.
• Heterotrophs obtain food from consuming other living or once-living things.
• Heterotrophs obtain food through the process of photosynthesis.

How can photosynthesis be related to cellular respiration?
