Photosynthesis vs. Cellular Respiration

Photosynthesis Process by which cells capture energy from sunlight and store it as glucose/food.

Does it occur in plant or animal cells or both? Plant Cells

Where in the cell (organelle) does it take place? Chloroplasts

What does it need? (raw materials) Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ) and Water (H2O)

What does it produce? (products) Oxygen (O2 ) and Glucose (C6H12 O6) (Sugar/Food)

What is the source of energy? Sunlight

Cellular Respiration Process by which cells release stored energy from food/glucose and convert it to “ATP” energy.

Does it occur in plant or animal cells or both? Animal and Plant Cells All Cells Respire

Where in the cell (organelle) does it take place? Mitochondria

What does it need? (raw materials) Sugars/Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2)

What does it produce? (products) Carbon Dioxide and Water ATP Energy (released “stored” energy)

What is the source of energy? Stored Energy from Food/Glucose → from Plants → from Sun
