Photosynthesis is a system in plants for the taking of suns energy and creating food (mainly glucose). This process requires CO2 and water according to this general equation:

6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy ® C6H12O6 + 6O2

Notice here that Glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) are products here

This differs from cellular respiration in the fact that Oxygen and Glucose are reactants and Carbon dioxide and waters are products :

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

You will here notice that they are essentially the reverse equations.

These are how they are similar:

  1. Both systems involve the movement of electrons through "electron transport chains"
  2. ATP is created through APT synthase and an electrochemical gradient (Hydrogen ions)
  3. Both take place in a organelle thought to have been ingested (reason for the double membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts)

What are three similarities and three differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

the similarities between cellular respiration and photosynthesis is that they both follow the same basic pattern.The only differences are that photosynthesis gets the energy from sunlight, consumes carbondioxide, and produces oxygen, while cellular respiration consumes oxygen and water, and produces carbon dioxide and water.


What are the main similarities between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Both cellular respiration and photosynthesis involve the production and utilization of energy in the form of ATP. They both occur in living organisms but in different cellular compartments – cellular respiration in mitochondria and photosynthesis in chloroplasts. Additionally, both processes involve redox reactions that involve the transfer of electrons.
