What energy transfers are involved with photosynthesis and respiration in plants?
Energy from the sun (photons) are absorbed by the chloroplast in the plants leaves this is then reacted with water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen more water and glucose which is the main sugar (carbohydrate) produced. Light energy would become chemical energy and the glucose would become a store of energy/ In respiration it is pretty much the same as it is in us humans. Oxygen is taken in and then reacted with glucose to create water, carbon dioxide and of course energy which would be in the chemical energy form. As you can tell by the products and the reactants most both of the reactions are linked.
