Detailed explanation-1: -Waste materials like CO2 and water vapours are produced during this process. Cellular respiration can be summarized as follows: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (38ATP)
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose + Oxygen → Water + Carbon dioxide+ Energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process that plants use in the presence of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide taken in by their leaves and water taken in through the roots to produce oxygen and sugar (glucose). This process takes place in the chloroplast of the plant cell with the presence of the green pigment of chlorophyll.
Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria and requires oxygen and glucose, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen-> carbon dioxide + water).
