What are the 5 main differences between respiration and photosynthesis?

Question

I am a student, and I need this as soon as possible bcuz I need to use it to do my homework

Answer 1

1. respiration is for animals, and phtosynthesis is for vegetals, bacteria and algae.



2. We (animals) use respiration because our cells need a process called gas exchange ( we take Oxygen from the air and exchange it in our cells for carbon dioxide)



3. This is possible for us because our cells have organs called mitocondria, while vegetal cells have chloroplasts.



4.Photosynthesis is an important biochemical process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria harness the energy of sunlight to produce food. Ultimately, nearly all living things depend on energy produced from photosynthesis for their nourishment, making it vital to life on Earth. It is also responsible for producing the oxygen that makes up a large portion of the Earth's atmosphere. Organisms that produce energy through photosynthesis are called photoautotrophs. Half of all photosynthesis comes not from plants, but from bacteria and algae.



Resìration involves the use of developed organs such as lungs.



5. Photosynthesis produces energy from sun light, while

respiration produces energy from the Oxygen present in pur atmospheric air.

Answer 2

Respiration:-

1. Its the process of breaking down food for the release of energy.

2. Its end products are water, carbon dioxide and energy

3. It can occur with or without the presence of oxygen

4. It doesn't need sunlight for respiration to take place

5. It gives out carbon dioxide gas.



Photsynthesis:-

1. its the manufacture of complex organic food material from simple inorganic materials using sunlight as the source of energy.

2. It end products are starch, water and oxygen

3. It needs carbondioxide for the process to take place.

4. It needs sunlight for the process to take place

5. It gives out oxygen gas during the process.

Answer 3

1.respiration occurs throughout the day and night while photosynthesis occurs only during day time.

2.resp utilizes oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide while photo takes in carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen.

3.resp occurs in all living cell while photo occurs in only chlorophyllous cells.

4.R-chemical energy stored in glucose molecules is converted partly into heat and partly as ATP molecules P- light energy is converetd into chemical energy and stored in the bonds of glucose.

5.resp is a catabolic activity, P-it is an anabolic activity
