Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration
Connections Between Both Processes
By Ivan Macsemchuk and Ashwin Suresh
Similarities Between Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis
Both Processes make ATP when processing.
Both have Reactants and Products.
Use ATP to carry out functions.
In plants, the reactants in photosynthesis are the products in cellular respiration and vice versa.
Differences Between Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis
Both have different Products and Reactants.
Photosynthesis:
6CO2 + 6H2O ==> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Cellular Respiration:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ==> 6CO2 + 6H2O
