The image provided is a flowchart illustrating the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The task is to complete the chart by identifying the processes, molecules, or energy forms involved in these biological processes. Below is the explanation and solution:
---
Key Components of the Chart:
1.
Photosynthesis (Top Half):
-
Process: Photosynthesis occurs in plants and converts light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
-
Location: Chloroplasts in plant cells.
2.
Cellular Respiration (Bottom Half):
-
Process: Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP.
-
Location: Mitochondria in animal cells.
---
Step-by-Step Solution:
####
Top Half (Photosynthesis):
1.
Label 6: This represents the input for photosynthesis. It is
light energy from the sun.
2.
Label 7: This represents the organism performing photosynthesis. It is a
plant.
3.
Label 9: This represents the output of photosynthesis. It is
glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), which is an energy-rich molecule.
####
Bottom Half (Cellular Respiration):
4.
Label 8: This represents the organism performing cellular respiration. It is an
animal.
5.
Label 10: This represents the location where cellular respiration occurs. It is the
mitochondrion.
6.
Label 1: This represents the input for cellular respiration. It is
glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), which is energy-rich.
7.
Label 2: This represents the output of cellular respiration. It is
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is energy-poor after use.
8.
Label 3: This represents the input for cellular respiration. It is
oxygen (O₂), which is used to break down glucose.
9.
Label 4: This represents the output of cellular respiration. It is
carbon dioxide (CO₂) and
water (H₂O).
10.
Label 5: This represents the usable energy released during cellular respiration. It is
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is energy-rich.

Explanation:
-
Photosynthesis:
- Plants use sunlight (label 6) to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (label 9) and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplasts (label 7).
-
Cellular Respiration:
- Animals (and other organisms) use glucose (label 1) and oxygen (label 3) to produce ATP (label 5), carbon dioxide (label 4), and water. This process occurs in the mitochondria (label 10).
The flowchart shows how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected:
- Photosynthesis produces glucose, which is then used in cellular respiration to generate energy (ATP).

Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
1. & \text{ Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)} \\
2. & \text{ ATP (energy poor)} \\
