How photosynthesis and respiration are similar and different?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in the sense that they are simply (and only when talking about the SIMPLE aspect of it) the opposites of each other.

EX -- 6 CO2+ 6 H2O → C6H12O6+ 6 O2 is the formula for photosynthesis.

C6H12O6+ 6 O2→ 6 CO2+ 6 H2O is the formula for cellular respiration.

LITERALLY.

They are different because the actual processes and cycles that happen during photosynthesis and cellular respiration (respectively) are completely different.

PS - light dependent reactions and Calvin cycle

CR - Krebs cycle and electron transport chain

Answer 2

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants take in the elements sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce food for the producer. The substances released from the caused reaction are oxygen and sugar. Sugar can also be put as the term glucose. Cellular respiration is basically the opposite Cellular respiration can be used by a producer as well as a consumer to make food and energy. In this, the consumer or producer take in both oxygen and glucose, and the substances released from the reaction are carbon dioxide and water.

These are the formulas for photosynthesis and respiration.

Photosynthesis: H2O + Light Energy + CO2 ---> O2 + Carbohydrate (glucose)

Respiration: Carbohydrate + O2 ---> H2O + ATP + CO2

Note: Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts while respiration takes place in the mitochondria and on occasions, the cytoplasm.

Answer 3

photosynthesis and respiration occurs in plants and respiration occurs in animals. Photosynthesis and respiration are actually the exact same chemical equation just flipped around. The difference is mainly the reactants and products.

In photosynthesis you need a plant cell. it also uses mesophyll, stomata, guard cells, chlorophyll, the thylakoid membrane, mitochondria etc

in respiration organelles used are the mitochondria, plasma membrane, ribosmes, Golgi apparatus.

Answer 4

Photosynthesis and respiration are both cellular processes that involve energy transformation. Photosynthesis occurs in plants and some bacteria, where light energy is converted into chemical energy (glucose), releasing oxygen as a byproduct. Respiration occurs in all living organisms, including plants, where glucose is broken down to release energy in the form of ATP, with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. The key difference is that photosynthesis is an anabolic process that builds organic molecules, while respiration is a catabolic process that breaks down organic molecules to release energy.

Answer 5

photosynthesis and respiration the same and different?
