Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration
Photosynthesis
Light energy+CO2+H20->C6H12O6+O2+H2O
- Done by autotrophs only
- Photosynthesis traps light energy and changes it into chemical energy
- It takes place in the chloroplast of leaves
Cellular Respiration
C6H12O6+O2+H2O->energy+CO2+H2O
- Done by both autotrophs and heterotrophs
- Cellular respiration is used as a tool to breakdown sugar into energy
- It takes place in the mitochondria of cells
