photosynthesis

• purpose of chlorophyl: a substance that absorbs sunlight
• product of photosynthesis that is the plants food: the sugars converted from carbon dioxide and water.
• waste product: oxygen
• photosyntesis balanced equation: 6co2 + 6H2o -> c6h12o6 + 6o2 (add a 6 to everything that doesnt have one yet.)
• cell respiration ( balanced): c6h12o6 + 6o2 -> 6co2 + 6H2o (add six to everything that doesnt have on yet)
• energy is made from cell respiration
• sugars + nitrogen can form amino acids
