Question

differentiate between photosynthesis and respiration class 7​

Answer 1

photosynthesis:

Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

Respiration:

The process of respiration in plants involves using the sugars produced during photosynthesis plus oxygen to produce energy for plant growth. ... Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell in the presence of oxygen, which is called "aerobic respiration.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis and respiration is differentiated as follows -

• Photosynthesis takes place in certain organisms containing chlorophyll while respiration is the process undergoing in every living organism.
• Photosynthesis is involved with synthesis of compounds that provide energy. Respiration is associated with breaking down of compounds to release energy.
• In photosynthesis, oxygen is released after consuming carbon dioxide and respiration utilizes oxygen.
