CELL ENERGY

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

• Reactants: sunlight+Carbon dioxide+water

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

• Purpose: breaks down food to create oxygen and release energy
• Location: first stage is in the cytoplasm and second stage in the mitochondria
• Reactants: glucose+ oxygen

FERMENATION

SIMILARITIES

• Happens in a cell

DIFFERENCES

• Photosynthesis is the only conversion that needs sunlight
• 4 stages in respiration and 2 steps in photosynthesis

CYCLE BETWEEN PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CELLULAR RESPIRATION

• Keeps the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide fairly equal
• Opposite equations
• Photosynthesis absorbs energy and respiration releases energy
