Question

State the basic difference between the process of respiration and photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Answer:

many differentbetween respiration and photosynthesis. The principal difference, however, between photosynthesis and respiration is that photosynthesis utilizes carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light to produce glucose and oxygen, whereas respiration uses oxygen and glucose to power the activities of the cell. Respiration then releases carbon dioxide and water as a byproduct.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Respiration:--

==============

1. It is a catabolic process in which food material is broken down and energy is release.

2. Carbohydrates, like glucose, act as raw materials. Oxygen is required in aerobic respiration

3. The process of respiration goes on 24 hours a day.

Photosynthesis

1. It is an anabolic process in which food material is synthesized and energy is stored.

2. Carbon dioxide, water, chlorophyll and light act as raw mate4rials.

3. In natural conditions it takes place in daytime, because light is essential for this process.
