Photosynthesis and respiration are NOT the same. They are actually the opposite of each other.

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight energy to produce glucose(C6H12O6). Photosynthesis also occurs only in plant cells and special types of microorganisms.

Cellular Respiration, on the other hand, uses the glucose to make carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy(ATP). Each of the processes produces the ingredients for the other.

Does the generation of proton gradients across membranes occur in both potosynthesis and respiration?

Yes, the generation of proton gradients across membranes occurs in both photosynthesis and respiration. In photosynthesis, protons are pumped across the thylakoid membrane during the light reactions. In respiration, protons are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane during the electron transport chain.

Are breathing and respiration the same process?

Breathing and respiration are related but not the same process. Breathing is the physical act of inhaling and exhaling air, while respiration is the chemical process where cells convert oxygen and nutrients into energy.


What are the by-products of plant's respiration?

Plant respire no matter what. PLants respiration is same as regular respiration. The reactants are o2 and glucose and products are water, co2 and ATP.
