Question

What is the difference between respiration and photosynthesis?

Answer 1

A process by which animals take in oxygen and take out carbon dioxide to perform necessary functions essential for living is known as respiration. The process by which plants make their food by using both abiotic and biotic substances present in the environment to obtain energy and perform necessary functions for survival is known as photosynthesis.

Complete answer:

RESPIRATION	PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Cellular respiration occurs in all living things.	1. Only found in phototrophs (all green plants, algae, and some bacteria).
Mitochondria is where the whole process takes place.	2. Chloroplasts are where the whole process takes place.
The reactants in this step are glucose and oxygen.	3. The reactants in this phase are carbon dioxide, water, and light energy.
By-products include carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP).	4. The by-products are glucose, oxygen, and water.
It goes through a catabolic phase.	5. It goes through the anabolic process.
Carbon dioxide is released and oxygen is taken in.	6. The primary roles are food production and energy capture.
Food particles are broken down to release energy during this process.	7. Food is synthesized by collecting energy in this process.
As energy is emitted, it is an exergonic reaction.	8. Since it necessitates energy, it is an endothermic reaction.
Since cellular respiration happens all the time, this process does not require sunlight.	9. Photosynthesis occurs only in the presence of sunlight, so this process involves sunlight.

Note:
The carbon cycle is defined as the pathways through which carbon is recycled out of the atmosphere. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two very essential parts of the carbon cycle. Cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide out in the atmosphere while photosynthesis absorbs this carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
