Question

what are the differences between photosynthersis and respiration?

Answer 1

i actually know this one....photosynthesis is a reaction where sunlight enters the plant and the chloroplast turns it into ATP (energy) and food for plant. co2+h2o+light=c6h12o2+o2 is the equation for photosythesis. carbon dioxide+water+light=glucose+oxygen



respiration is the exact opposite of photosynthesis. well the equation is except we replace ATP with light. ATP is the kind of energy we use. there are two types of respiration. anaerobic and aerobic. anaerobic doesnt have oxygen to happen...which then makes the muscles produce lactic acid which makes us sore when we excersise too much. and bacteria produces ethly alcohol which is the alcohol u drink. aerobic needs oxygen to carry out. and it produces either 36 or 38 ATPs i dont remember. and the more ATP (energy) u have. the better. hope that answered ur question. and im only in the ninth grade..so proud of myself. :)

Answer 2

Photosynthesis is the chemical reaction that occurs in plants when they create sugars using carbon-dioxide, sunlight, and other nutrients. Oxygen is released as a by-product.



Respiration is the chemical reaction that occurs in animals where sugar and oxygen are combined to release energy for the animal. The by-product is carbon-dioxide.



In other words, plants breathe in carbon-dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Animals do just the opposite.



Plants create sugars and animals burn them for energy.

Answer 3

Photosynthesis deals with the susns' reactivity or reagent while respiation diffusion act as the reagent only in other aspect of reactivity and by-products
