Organisms that photosynthesize are plants (not all but many do, e.g. a daffodil). However many fungi do not.
Plants also respire, like all the rest that do not get energy from the Sun. This ranges from mammals, like us, to amoebas, which are single-celled organisms.
A simplification is that respiration takes oxygen out of the environment and releases carbon dioxide, and photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. They kind of work together in a cycle.
Energy is stored as chemical energy. This energy is in chemical bonds
All plants with chlorophyll use carbon dioxide through photosynthesis.
Respiration in plants is the same as in other eukaryotes (such as animals), however photosynthesising cells do not need to respire (i.e. use sugar to produce ATP) because photosynthesis already provides ATP. Therefore leaves only require respiration when there is no light.
the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis requires CO2 (carbon dioxide) organisms that are heterotrophs, like us, which cannot produce their own food consume autotrophs like plants, which do produce their own food. a by-product of cellular respiration is CO2 a by-product of photosynthesis is O2 organisms like us need O2 to live organisms like plants need CO2 to live (and to support us in life--we eat them because they have sugar [i.e., glucose])
During respiration, humans produce carbon dioxide (CO2) as a waste product. This carbon dioxide is then exhaled from the body during the process of exhalation.

Photosynthesis and respiration go hand in hand. The reactants of respiration are the products of photosynthesis and vice versa.RESPIRATION-reactants: oxygen, glucose(sugar)products: carbon dioxide, water (yes water, just breathe on to your palm and feel your hand), ATP energyPHOTOSYNTHESIS-reactants: carbon dioxide, water, light energyproducts: oxygen, glucose(sugar)The only difference is the kind of energy that is taken in and released,ATP vs. Light

it is special because it is a kind of photosynthesis called cam photosynthesis
