Cellular respiration stores ATP, while photosynthesis releases ATP.
|
|
Cellular respiration produces oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen.
|
|
Photosynthesis releases energy, while cellular respiration stores energy.
|
|
Photosynthesis used carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.
Detailed explanation-2: -How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis almost opposite processes? Photosynthesis releases energy, and cellular respiration stores energy. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.
Detailed explanation-3: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
