Question

what is the difference between respiration and photosynthesis???​

Answer 1

Answer:

Respiration:

1. It takes place in all the living cells of plant.

2. This catabolic process continues throughout the day and night.

3. Utilizes oxygen and carbohydrates.

4. The end products of respiration are carbon dioxide and water.

5. 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.

6. Through the process of oxidative phos­phorylation, oxidation of carbohydrates yields ATP molecules – the energy currency in living organisms.

7. Hydrogen released in oxidation of carbohydrates is trapped in a hydrogen acceptor NAD which is reduced to NADH2.

8. ATP synthesized during respiration is used in various metabolic processes

Photosynthesis:

1. It takes place only in the cells containing chlorophyll.

2. It takes place only in the presence of light.

3. Photosynthesis utilizes carbon dioxide and water.

4. The end products of photosynthesis are carbohydrates and oxygen.

5. During photosynthesis, the light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrate.

6. Through the process of Photophosphorylation during photosynthesis ATP molecules are synthesized by the conversion of light energy.

7. Hydrogen released during the photolysis of water is accepted by NADP which is reduced to NADPH2.

8. ATP synthesized is used in the dark reaction of photosynthesis.

Hope it helps you

Answer 2

THE PROCESS OF RESPIRATION , OXYGEN AND glucose yield water and carbon dioxide, while carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen in photosnthesis ........
