Photosynthesis
Algae are plants and produce oxygen from carbon dioxide when exposed to sunlight by photosynthesis. At night they produce carbon dioxide though cellular respiration.
carbon dioxide breathed out by the lungs
They are opposite reactions, but both are related in that the end products of one are used in the reactions of the other. Photosynthesis : sunlight + carbon dioxide + water --> oxygen + glucose Cellular respiration : glucose + oxygen --> ATP + Carbon dioxide + water
D) carry out photosynthesis. A is wrong because it doesn't release carbon dioxide, it releases oxygen as a waste product. Carbon dioxide is required for the plant. B is wrong because sunlight doesn't influence the roots and its ability to take water and mineral from the soil. C is wrong because cellular respiration doesn't require sunlight.
Carbon dioxide from the air, water from the ground and photons of light.
Carbon dioxide absorb the sunlight.
Cellular respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP. Photosynthesis uses sunlight as an energy source and produces oxygen and water.
For photosynthesis, plants need water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight (or photons). The water provides electrons, the sunlight provides the energy, and CO2 provides a carbon source.
A leaf takes in sunlight and carbon dioxide.
Carbon Dioxide
The full equation for cellular respiration is: sunlight glucose+6 molecules of oxygen--->6 molecules of carbon dioxide+6 molecules of water The glucose and oxygen are the raw materials and the carbon dioxide and water are the products.
In general outline, photosynthesis is the opposite of cellular respiration. Photosynthesis uses sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce ATP, water and oxygen.
