Thursday November 29^th 

What are the Reactants (inputs) of Photosynthesis?

Sunlight, Carbon Dioxide and Water 

What are the reactants (inputs) of cellular respiration?

Glucose and Oxgyen 

How are the inputs and outputs of cellular respiration and photosynthesis related?

The inputs (reactants) of cellular respiration are the outputs (products) of photosynthesis.

Friday November 30^th

For every cycle of photosynthesis how many Carbon Dioxide molecules are needed?

 6

One of the main products of photosynthesis is glucose, how many carbons does glucose have?

 6

What can we infer about WHERE the carbon comes from to make glucose?

The carbon found in glucose ultimately comes from Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere.

Over the past two days we started looking at the notes specifically on photosynthesis.  We also looked at a couple different videos.  The first two were meant to motivate you..... or something like that!  the famoeous "Photosynthesis Rap"  Found below

 Then the more "light hearted" song

And then finally today I had you look at the following khan academy video that will b a good reference for if you miss any of the next couple days!
