Differentiate photosynthesis and respiration in a table form
Answers
Answer:
Photosynthesis occurs only in Green plants and some photosynthetic bacteria. Respiration occurs in all living organisms.
FUNCTION
Photosynthesis is called as photo chemical reaction because it uses light along with water and carbon dioxide to form carbohydrates. Respiration is the oxidation of food materials to water and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen or without oxygen.
TAKES PLACE IN
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast and is dependent on light. Respiration takes place in cytoplasm and mitochondria and is not dependent on light.
ENERGY
In photosynthesis, light energy is fixed. In respiration, energy is released.
RAW MATERIALS
The raw materials of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water. The raw materials of respiration are carbohydrates or organic substances and oxygen.
PROCESS
The carbon dioxide is used and oxygen is released in the process of photosynthesis. The oxygen is used and carbon dioxide is released in the process of respiration.
ACTION
Photosynthesis converts radiant or light energy into chemical or bond energy. Respiration releases chemical or potential energy for several other functions in the body.
STAGES
Photosynthesis consists of two stages light reaction and dark reaction. Respiration consists of two stages, they are inhalation and exhalation.
DEPENDENCY
Photosynthesis takes place during the day only because it is dependent on light. Respiration is a continuous process and without respiration no organism can survive.
