### Differences between Photosynthesis and Respiration

| Feature | Photosynthesis | Respiration |
|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| Process Type | Anabolic (building) | Catabolic (breaking down) |
| Organisms | Plants, algae, some bacteria | All living organisms |
| Occurs In | Chloroplasts | Mitochondria |
| Main Purpose | Convert solar energy to chemical energy | Release energy from glucose |
| Raw Materials | Carbon dioxide and water | Glucose and oxygen |
| Products | Glucose and oxygen | Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP |
| Energy Flow | Energy is stored (endothermic) | Energy is released (exothermic) |
| Light Requirement | Requires light | Does not require light |
