Photosynthesis uses, water + carbon Dioxide in the presence of sunlight for energy, to convert the reactants into Oxygen and Glucose. Without sunlight at night time, plants use stored energy from the day, but when incapable of supplying more energy, revert to respiration to breathe.

Why plant cells undergo both photosynthesis and respiration?

Yes. They use photosynthesis to produce sugar from sunlight, and cellular respiration to digest the sugar for energy (ATP).


Do plants cells or animal cells carry out cellular respiration?

Yes. Plants and animals need energy. Energy must therefore be made in the cells.No, only animal cells carry on cellular respiration.animal cells carryon cellular respiration. plant cells carry out photosynthesis which is the opposite of respiration.


Why do plant cells undergo both photosynthesis and respiration?

What is organelle that carry out cellular Respiration an photosynthesis?

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are processes carried out in separate organelles within the cell. Cellular respiration occurs within mitochondria present in all living cells - both plant and animal. Photosynthesis occurs within the chloroplasts of plant cells only.


What do photosynthesis and respiration has in common?

Photosynthesis and Respiration both occurs and plants and both produces oxygen.
