Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Outline 3.6
In plants and other autotrophs, both processes may occur within individual cells This is possible because plants contain both chloroplasts and mitochondria Photosynthesis uses the products of cellular respiration (CO2) and cellular respiration uses the products of photosynthesis (O2)
