How is Cellular Respiration different from photosynthesis?

In: Biology, Photosynthesis [Edit categories]

Answer:

Cellular Respiration occurs in Plants and Animals while Photosynthesis occurs only in Plants. Cellular Respiration uses oxygen, Photosynthesis uses sunlight.

The products of photosynthesis are the reactants for aerobic respiration, and the products of aerobic respiration are the reactants of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis
6CO₂ + 6H₂O (+ light energy) C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O2 RespirationC₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ --> 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy (ATP)
