Photosynthesis & Respiration

What you will learn from this video What you will learn

Plants carry out photosynthesis to make sugar from carbon dioxide and water.

In cellular respiration, living things use sugar to produce energy.

Matter cycles in an ecosystem through photosynthesis & cellular respiration.

What are the reactants and products of photosynthesis?

Why do humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide? What process are we doing?

How do the processes of photosynthesis & cellular respiration work together in a plant cell?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Learn that photosynthesis and cellular respiration are chemical processes that cycle matter through an ecosystem. They both happen inside cells.

# data[].attributes.body
