Here is the FINAL project for the summer!
During this lab you will be using Skittles to represent the molecules found in photosynthesis and respiration reactions.
While studying these two reactions you will encounter the following molecules: CO2 (carbon dioxide), H2O (water), C6H12O6 (glucose), and O2 (oxygen).
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants (also called autotrophs or producers) use water and the radiant energy of the sun to create simple sugar (glucose) as a food source with oxygen as one of the products of the reaction.
Cellular respiration is the process that takes place in the cells of organisms in which chemical reactions turn sugar (glucose) that we get from food along with oxygen into adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
