Materials:
- Manila paper and marker

Procedure:

1. Read and study the texts about Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration below:

Photosynthesis primarily occurs in the cells of Cellular respiration occurs in almost all cells of
green plants, algae, and certain bacteria. organisms, including plants, animals, fungi, and
many microorganisms.
*Function/Purpose*
The primary function of photosynthesis is to *Function/Purpose*
convert solar energy into chemical energy and The primary function of cellular respiration is to
store it in the bonds of glucose or other sugars. produce energy in the form of adenosine
This process allows plants and other organisms triphosphate (ATP) by breaking down glucose
to produce food (carbohydrates) for themselves and other organic molecules. This energy is used
and provides the base for the food chain in many to power various cellular processes, ensuring the
ecosystems. cell's survival and functionality.

*Organelle*
In eukaryotic cells, like those of plants and algae,
photosynthesis takes place in a specialized
organelle called the chloroplast. Chloroplasts
contain pigments, the most common of which is
chlorophyll, which captures the solar energy.
*Organelle*
In eukaryotic cells, the main events of cellular
respiration, specifically the Krebs cycle and
electron transport chain, take place in the
mitochondria. The initial step, glycolysis, occurs
in the cytoplasm.

*Reactants*
The main reactants required for photosynthesis
are carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and water
(H₂O) from the soil.
*Source of Energy*
The primary source of energy for photosynthesis
is sunlight. This solar energy is absorbed by
pigments like chlorophyll.
*Products*
The major products of photosynthesis are
glucose (a sugar) and oxygen. Glucose serves as
an energy store and building block for plants,
while oxygen is released into the atmosphere as
a byproduct.
*Reactants*
The primary reactants for cellular respiration
are glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂).
*Source of Energy*
The source of energy for cellular respiration is
the chemical energy stored in glucose and other
organic molecules. This energy is released in a
controlled manner during the breakdown of
these molecules.
*Products*
The major products of cellular respiration are
carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O), and energy in
the form of ATP.
 SCIENCE 9- FIRST QUARTER LIVING THINGS

*Chemical Equation*
The overall chemical equation representing
photosynthesis is:
[6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂]
This equation means that six molecules of
carbon dioxide and six molecules of water, using
light energy, produce one molecule of glucose
and six molecules of oxygen.
*Chemical Equation*
The overall chemical equation representing
cellular respiration is:
[C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy (ATP)]
This equation indicates that one molecule of
glucose and six molecules of oxygen are broken
down to produce six molecules of carbon
dioxide, six molecules of water, and energy
stored in ATP.
