Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose to release energy, occurring in mitochondria of living cells (both plant and animal), using oxygen and producing carbon - dioxide and water. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon - dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen, occurring in chloroplasts of plant cells.
Function: Cellular respiration releases energy, Photosynthesis stores energy.
Location: Cellular respiration in mitochondria, Photosynthesis in chloroplasts.
Reactants: Cellular respiration - glucose and oxygen, Photosynthesis - carbon - dioxide, water, and light.
Products: Cellular respiration - carbon - dioxide, water, ATP; Photosynthesis - glucose and oxygen.
Chemical Equation: Cellular respiration: $C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2+6H_2O + Energy$; Photosynthesis: $6CO_2 + 6H_2O+Light
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$.
Stores Energy as Glucose: Photosynthesis (yes), Cellular respiration (no).
Releases Energy in Glucose: Cellular respiration (yes), Photosynthesis (no).
Occurs in Living Cells: Cellular respiration (yes), Photosynthesis (only in plant - like living cells).
Occurs in Plant Cells: Both (yes).
Occurs in Animal Cells: Cellular respiration (yes), Photosynthesis (no).
Releases Oxygen: Photosynthesis (yes), Cellular respiration (no).
Uses Oxygen: Cellular respiration (yes), Photosynthesis (no).
Water is produced: Cellular respiration (yes), Photosynthesis (no).
Water is used: Photosynthesis (yes), Cellular respiration (no).
Releases Carbon Dioxide: Cellular respiration (yes), Photosynthesis (no).
Uses Carbon Dioxide: Photosynthesis (yes), Cellular respiration (no).
