1. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere and converted into glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
2. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide as a waste product.
3. Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are essential processes in maintaining the balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere.
4. Photosynthesis occurs in plants and some bacteria, while cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms.
5. The carbon atoms that make up glucose molecules during photosynthesis eventually become part of the carbon dioxide molecules released during cellular respiration.
6. Photosynthesis is an anabolic process, while cellular respiration is a catabolic process.
