Comparing and contrasting photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Answer 1

2 ways alike:

both photosynthesis and respiration occur in organelles of plant cells.

both involve the flow of electrons through the cell membrane in order to harvest energy.

2 ways they are different:

Respiration produces energy, where as Photosynthesis requires energy

Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, respiration takes place in mitochondria

Answer 2

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants and some other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, using carbon dioxide and water. Cellular respiration is a process in which cells break down glucose to release energy, carbon dioxide, and water. While photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plants, cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria of both plant and animal cells. Both processes are complementary, as they involve the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and provide energy for living organisms.
