What is the overall chemical formula for photosynthsis?

6Co2+6H2O--->C6H12O6+6O2

Where does the energy come from in photosynthesis?
From Sunlight?

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis.

Summarize What happens during the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis
Solar energy is converted into chemical potential energy. The light dependent takes place in thylakoids that contain choloropyll

Chemical Formula:

6CO2 + 12H2O + light --> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2

for anyone looking for the answers to Cell Work and Carbon Quick Check it is

1. CO2+H2O
2. 36
3. There are no chloroplasts in the plants cells
4. both processes involve carbon compounds…
5. Oxygen from the atmosphere reacts with glucose

During the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis, solar energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. This energy is then converted into chemical potential energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). Water molecules are split, producing oxygen gas (O2) as a byproduct. These reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane and provide the necessary energy and molecules to fuel the next stage of photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle.

To summarize, the overall chemical formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2. The energy in photosynthesis comes from sunlight. Photosynthesis and respiration have a mutually beneficial relationship: photosynthesis produces glucose that is later used in cellular respiration to generate ATP, while respiration produces carbon dioxide that is used in photosynthesis. Lastly, the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis convert solar energy into chemical potential energy and occur in thylakoids, which contain chlorophyll.
