What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration and photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Aerobic Respiration takes place in eukaryotic cells, uses oxygen, and produces more ATP(Adenosine Tri-phosphate). Anaerobic Respiration occurs in Prokaryotic cells, does not use oxygen, and produces less ATP than Aerobic Respiration. Photosynthesis does not use oxygen but it does produce it. Aerobic and Anaerobic Respiration both use glucose to make energy, but photosynthesis makes glucose for food. This is because it is an autotroph and makes its own food.

Answer 2

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to break down glucose into energy, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts, while anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen, producing energy and different byproducts like lactic acid or alcohol. In contrast, photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
