Processes in Plant & Animal Cells TEKS 7.5.A recognize that radiant energy from the sun is transformed into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis TEKS 7.7B illustrate the transformation of energy within an organism such as the transfer from chemical energy to heat energy and thermal energy in digestion

Process name: Photosynthesis

Cell type: Plant

Location in cell: Chloroplasts

Reactants (Uses): Chlorophyll + sunlight + Carbon dioxide (CO2), & water (H2O)

Products (Makes): Glucose (C6H12O6) & oxygen gas (O2)

Equation: CO2 + H2O + sunlight => C6H12O6 + O2

Radiant Energy Chemical Energy Energy transformations: Radiant Energy becomes Chemical Energy

Kinetic Energy Potential Energy Energy transformations: Kinetic Energy becomes Potential Energy

Process name: Cellular Respiration

Cell types: Plant & Animal

Location in cell: Mitochondria

Reactants (Uses): Glucose (C6H12O6) & oxygen gas (O2)

Products (Makes): Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy (ATP)

Equation: C6H12O6 + O2 => CO2 + H2O + energy (ATP)

Mechanical or Thermal Energy Energy transformations: Chemical Energy becomes Mechanical or Thermal Energy

Potential Energy Kinetic Energy Energy transformations: Potential Energy becomes Kinetic Energy
