Question

1. Tabulate differences between photosynthesis and respiration.

2. Use the information you have learnt to write the word equation for respiration.

Answer in short answer

Answer 1

1. **Differences between Photosynthesis and Respiration:**

| Feature | Photosynthesis | Respiration |
|--------------------------|-------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| Occurs in | Plants, algae, and some bacteria | All living organisms |
| Location | Chloroplasts | Mitochondria |
| Energy Conversion | Converts light energy to chemical energy | Converts chemical energy to usable energy |
| Reactants | Carbon dioxide + Water | Glucose + Oxygen |
| Products | Glucose + Oxygen | Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP) |
| Process Type | Anabolic (builds) | Catabolic (breaks down) |
| Light Requirement | Requires light (daytime) | Does not require light |

2. **Word Equation for Respiration:**
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)
