compare and contrast: cellular respiration and photosynthesis

Photosynthesis: cloroplasts of the plants capture light from the sun and converts it into chemical energy stored in sugar and other molecules. 

cellular respiration: oxgyen is consumed as a reactant with organic fuel.

similarties: 

-They both utilize ATP

- Take place in organelles, cellular respiration, it takes place in the mitochondria and photosynthesis it takes       place in the chloroplast

-involve electron transport chains

-chemiomosis allows ATP synthase to produce ATP

-power is needed in both processes

differences:

-2 electrons tranport chain utilize in photosynthesis, not 1

- cellular respiration depends on oxygen as a substrate

-photosynthesis: energy is provided by photons and not catabolic processes as cellular respiration

-celluar respiration involves FADH2 and NADH

-photosynthesis involves NADPH

-photosynthesis captures enegery while cellular respiration releases it

-CO2 and H2O is a substrate in photosynthesis

celluar respiration reactants: glycogen and oxygen, products: carbon dioxide and hydrogen

-photosynthesis equadtion : 6CO2--> C6H1206+6O2

cellular respiration equation: 6O2+C6H12O6-->6CO2+6H2O

- photosynthesis reactants: carbon doxide and hydrogen products: oxygen, glucose
