What are the differences between breathing and photosynthesis?

phototsynthesis is for plants with a reaction that takes place- carbon dioxide + water= oxygen + glucose whilst breathing is oxygen+ glucose= carbon dioxide and water


What metabolic reaction requires oxygen and glucose?

Aerobic respiration is the metabolic reaction that requires oxygen and glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. This process takes place in the mitochondria of cells and involves the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to generate ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.


How is glucose delivered to the cells in plants?

A plant uses photosynthesis to produce glucose from oxygen and water. This reaction takes place in an organelle called the chloroplast which is already inside the cell of the plant so the glucose is already there
