Question

difference of photosynthesis and Respiration!​

Answer 1

Here is your answer point-wise!

Respiration:

1. It takes place in all the living cells of plant.  
2. This catabolic process continues throughout the day and night.
3. The end products of respiration are  carbon dioxide and water.
4. The energy released from carbohydrates  and other respiratory substrates is trapped  in ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) on  oxidation. However, some energy is also lost  in the form of heat.
5. ATP synthesized during respiration is  used in various metabolic processes.
6. In respiration, glycolysis takes place in the  cytoplasm and oxidation of pyruvic acid  takes place within mitochondria.
7. Generally, the rate of respiration is less  than that of photosynthesis.
8. It is an exothermic reaction in which energy is released out during digestion when food is broken down and oxidized.

Photosynthesis:

1. It takes place only in the cells containing  chlorophyll.
2. It takes place only in the presence of light.
3. The end products of photosynthesis are carbohydrates and oxygen.
4. During photosynthesis, the light energy is  converted into chemical energy in the form  of carbohydrate.
5. Through the process of  Photophosphorylation during  photosynthesis ATP molecules are  synthesized by the conversion of light  energy.
6. The entire process of photosynthesis  occurs in chloroplast.
7. Rate of photosynthesis is usually 20 times more than that of respiration.
8. It is an endothermic reaction in which energy is absorbed. Sunlight (light energy) is absorbed by plants in making food.
