Answer in short answer

Answer 1

### 1. Differences Between Photosynthesis and Respiration

| Feature | Photosynthesis | Respiration |
|-----------------------|----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| Process Type | Anabolic (building process) | Catabolic (breaking down process) |
| Location | Chloroplasts in plant cells | Mitochondria in both plant and animal cells |
| Main Reactants | Carbon dioxide, water, sunlight | Glucose, oxygen |
| Main Products | Glucose, oxygen | Carbon dioxide, water, ATP |
| Energy Transformation | Converts light energy to chemical energy | Releases chemical energy from glucose |
| Organisms | Plants, algae, some bacteria | All living organisms |
| Time of Occurrence | Primarily daytime | Occurs continuously (day and night) |

### 2. Word Equation for Respiration

Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)
