First of all, photosynthesis can only occur in plants. Animals are incapable of performing this process. Cellular respiration ,however, can occur in both plants and animals. Ironically, the two processes are alike in a special way: the formula for cellular respiration is the exact reverse of the formula for photosynthesis. See the 'Related Questions' link on this page for the formulas.
Photosynthesis is an anabolic process, whereas cellular respiration is a catabolic process.
In other words, photosynthesis involves the synthesis of organic compounds while cellular respiration involves the breakdown of organic compounds.
Although photosynthesis is anabolic and cellular respiration is catabolic, both processes require an input of energy at various stages. For example, during the first stage of cellular respiration, glycolysis, an input of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is required in order to breakup glucose into two pyruvate molecules. It is important to note that during glycolysis, 4 ATP are produced for every 2 ATP used, resulting in a net gain of 2 ATP.
That it have cell
cellular respiration uses oxygen but fermentation does not use oxygen
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
The external inertial respiration refers to breathing, while the cellular respiration refers to respiration between the cells.
The main similarities between cellular respiration and photosynthesis is that they are both processes in which a cell produces glucose or energy. Both are used in your everyday environment. One difference is that photosynthesis happens in plants and cellular respiration in both plants and animals.

Nothing. It's exactly the same thing.

callular respiration breaks down food with oxygen and fermentation breaks down food with out using oxygen
Autotrophs perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Heterotrophs perform only respiration
