Plants manufacture their own food through the process of photosynthesis.A commonly used equation for photosynthesis is, 6CO, 6H2O Light energy CH0+ 60, (Carbon IV oxide) (Water) chlorophyll (Carbohydrate i.e. glucose) + Oxygen They have chlorophyll which traps light energy from the sun.The general equation is as follows; (Glucose) (Oxygen) 2 CHO + 0 6CO + HO + 38ATP (Carbon IV oxide) (Water) (Energy)During this process oxygen is given off as a by-product.

Plants manufacture their own food through the process of photosynthesis. In this process, carbon (IV) oxide combines with oxygen in the presence of sunlight to form glucose and oxygen as the products. A commonly used equation for photosynthesis is, 6CO, 6H₂O Light energy CH0+ 60, (Carbon IV oxide) (Water) chlorophyll (Carbohydrate i.e. glucose) + Oxygen They have chlorophyll which traps light energy from the sun. During this process oxygen is given off as a by-product. + Respiration is the process through which chemical energy present in organic molecules is released through oxidation and it takes place in both plants and animals. In the picture above, glucose is oxidsed in the presence of oxygen to form carbon (IV) oxide, water and energy in form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) as the products. The general equation is as follows; (Glucose) (Oxygen) 2 CHO + 0 6CO + HO + 38ATP (Carbon IV oxide) (Water) (Energy)
