Explore the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration and how living things exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the environment. This resource is designed for 6th-grade science students and covers the key elements of chloroplasts and mitochondria. Learn about the equations for photosynthesis and respiration and how they relate to each other. Discover the role of radiant energy, glucose, and ATP in these essential cellular activities.

PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CELLULAR RESPIRATION • We will examine the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between living things and the environment. • For: 6th Grade Science Students
Key Elements • Chloroplasts - Organelles found only in plant cells that carry out photosynthesis. • Mitochondria - Organelles found in plant and animal cells that carry out cellular respiration.

Lesson Summary • Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are related. How? • Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast of plant cells. • Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of plant and animal cells. • Whenever you see an arrow in our equations, think “produces”. • Reactants produce products. Remember, what one produces the other one needs. It is a cycle.
