What are those equations?

Hello @knsaunders !

Hi

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Let's have a look on the equations one by one.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What are the reactants in the first equation and what is the product ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found it in my lesson, is the first one photosynthesis and the second respiration?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Very Good !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

See how in the first equation carbon dioxide and water is being used to produce glucose, that is exactly what happens in the photosynthesis.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

In the second reaction, opp is happenig. Glucose is being oxidized to produce water and carbon dioxide.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

That's respiration.
