Compare and contrast cellular respiration and photosynthesis

Expert Solution

Features	Photosynthesis	Respiration
1.Function	Capture the light energy and stores it in the form of sugars	Release energy which is stored in the sugar.
2.Type of cell	Mostly Photosynthesis is perfomed by Plant Cells but some bacteria can perform photosynthesis: oxygenic (cyanobacteria) and anoxygenic (Chlorofexi, Chlorobium)	All living organisms perform respiration
3.Location	Light Reaction : Thylakoid of Chloroplast Calvin Cycle: Stroma of Chloroplasts	Glycolysis: Cytosol Krebs Cycle & Electron Transport Chain: Mitochondria
4. Reactants & Products	Reactants : Water and Carbon Di Oxide Products: Glucose, Oxygen (in the presence of sunlight and help of Chloroplast)	Reactants: Oxygen and Glucose Products: Water and Carbon Di Oxide
5. ATP generation	ATP is generated here	ATP is also generated here
6. Electron Transport Chain	Uses electron transport chain durung the light reaction	ETS is also used in respiration
7. Reaction	6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2	C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O+energy
