Photosynthesis vs. Respiration

Photosynthesis and respiration are said to be reverse reactions. First describe what they have in common, then discuss how they are directly opposite of each other.

  1. Photosynthesis takes in the sun and then Respiration puts out energy from the sun.
    Photosynthesis takes in different light rays to create energy. The energy is a food source for the producers.
    Respiration needs oxygen to perform corectly. It is made up of teo different things, Glycolysis and Kreb Cycle.
    Both of these have ATP and ADP, NADPH and NADP+ conversions.

  2. Photosynthesis and Resperation go through pretty much the same process, but the end result is the complete opposite. Photosynthesis is done for the plant to have energy for homeostasis. While resperation is done to release the wastre gas that the plant doesn't need. In resperation the plant takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. Photosynthesis allows the plant to bring energy through the chloroplasts in the cells. Each process yous ATP and ADP, along with proteins and other materials used in each process.

  3. Both processes are important in providing energy for organisms. They both use ATP and ADP, as well as other molecules of carbon, sugars, proteins, and other forms of energy. They are different because photosynthesis captures the energy and prepares it for use as energy by the organism. Respiration is the releases the waste that results from the use of energy. They're both different, but they are both necessary.

  4. Photosynthesis and respiration are in comon in the way that they help the plant survive. Photosynesis uses the sunlight to make energy. The equation for Photosynthesis is the opposite of the equation for respiration. Or you can say that what photosynthesis equation --> the respiration equation. Respiration produces energy, while photosynthesis uses energy.

  5. Photosynthesis and respiration use the same molecules to do what they do but they use them in different ways. Photosynthesis is the process where plants use sunlight to make food. Respiration converts this food into energy so the plants can use this. Photosynthesis needs energy to make the glucose and respiration uses the glucose to make energy. The equations are also the opposite of each other. Photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (36 ATP).

  6. Photosynthesis creats energy from sunlight to make food. This takes place in the chloroplast. Light Independent Reaction uses the Calvin Cycle to creat glucose which is food for plants.
    6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

    Respiration converts food takin in and converts it into energy. This takes place in the mitocondria. The Krebs Cycle is used to creat energy from the Pyruvate which is created from the breakdown of glucose.
    C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy

    The two equations for photosynthesis are exacty opposite. The reactants of the photosynthesis are the products of respiration and vice versa.

  7. Photosynthesis takes in energy. Respiration makes enegy.
    Both help the plant survive.
    Photosynthesis produces glucouse and energy.
    Respiration produces energy carring molecules.
    Photosynthesis--> 6h20=6co2+energy= C6 H12 O6+ 6o2.
    Respiration--> c6 h12 o6+6o2= 6h2o=6co2+energy.

  8. Photosynthesis is similar to respiration are similar because both create energy, cellular respiration uses biochemical energy from nutrients to convert it to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Photosynthesis is a process were carbon dioxide is converted to organic compounds or “sugars” , this is helped with the absorbed light to create glucose, both are sources of energy for each other. They are different because of what materials they use to create a source of energy, photosynthesis needs light in order to work. And Cellular respiration needs nutrients from food.
    Respiration- C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
    Photosynthesis-6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy --->C6H12O6 + 6O2

  9. Photosynthesis uses the equation 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy = C6 H12 O6 + 6O2. The end product is glucose. Glucose is the sugar that the plant uses for food. Cellular respiration is when glucose or is made into carbon dioxide and water. The equation for carbon respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O = 12H2O + 6 CO2. Cellular respiration and Photosynthesis are the opposite processes. Cellular respiration is performed to create ATP and energy. Photosynthesis is performed to make glucose. They are opposite because they use each cycles products as there reactants and make two different things that are both necessary for a cells survival. They are similar because they all together they use create the same products just in different order.

  10. Both Photosynthesis and respiration use the same chemical combounds but in a different order. The Photosynthesis cycle takes in (6)CO2 (Six Carbon Dioxide)+ (6)H2O (Six Water)+ Energy to produce C6H12O6 (Glucose)+ (6)O2 (Six Oxygen Molecules).

    While the Respiration Cycle takes in Glucose and Oxygen (C6H12O6+[6]O2)and turns it into Carbon Dioxide, Water, and Energy as products. ([6]CO2+[6]H2O+Energy)

  11. The formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2+ 6H2O + Energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2 with the product being glucose. While the respiration formula is the photosynthesis formula but the reactants and the products are reversed at C6H12O6 + 6O2 (glucose) = 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy. It forms a cycle of what each uses the other makes. What you put into the photosynthesis formula is what you get out of the respiration one, and what you put into the respiration formula is what you get out of the photosynthesis.

  12. Photosynthesis takes in sunlight and turns that into food. Respiration puts out carbon dioxide. Both use the same equation except in different order. Photosynthesis uses the Calvin Cycle while respiration has the Kreb's cycle. Each process uses ATP and ADP for energy.
