Need ! in photosynthesis and respiration, energy is converted from one form to another. light is a form of radiant energy. glucose and atp molecules store chemical energy.

a. in the photosynthesis chemical equation, does the radiant energy of the sun act as a reactant or a product? explain your answer.
b. in photosynthesis, what form of energy is sunlight converted to, and how is this energy stored?
c. in the respiration equation, does energy act as a reactant or a product? explain
d. how is the energy produced by respiration stored?

A. The right answer is reactant.

The convertion solar energy into biochemical energy happen through photosynthesis in plants.

Solar energy is the fraction of electromagnetic energy coming from the sun and passing through the atmosphere, which absorbs some of the energy, and reaches the surface of the Earth.

On Earth, solar energy is at the origin of the cycle of water, wind and photosynthesis carried out by the vegetable kingdom, on which the animal kingdom depends through the food chains.

B. Sunlight energy is converted into chemical-stored energy (glucose).

The transformation of light energy into chemical energy is the role of chlorophyll, a molecule present in chloroplasts, key organelles of photosynthesis. The chlorophyllian cells are aligned under the upper translucent epidermis of the leaves. Photosynthetic activity is proportional to light intensity.

C . The right answer is product.

In medicine and biology, the term "respiration" refers to the production of energy by cells.

Respiration can refer also to inhalation and exhalation of gases and cellular respiration which allows, by degrading glucose through oxygen, to get energy.

D. Energy produced in respiration is stored in form of ATP molecules.

Glucose as a food is "burned" in the presence of oxygen in the cells of animals and plants.

Breathing releases energy stored in glucose (during photosynthesis). Most of this energy is transferred to an energy molecule that can be used by all cells: ATP.
