Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis


      
REFERENCES


 Cellular Respiration                         Similarities                                Photosynthesis
     Occurs day and night
     Both occur in two stages
     certain part of photosynthesis can only occur during daylight
     Occurs in the mitochondia
     Both are aerobic
     occurs in chloroplasts
     uses NAD+ to transfer hydrogen ions
     Generate ATP by chemiosmosis
     uses NADP to transfer hydrogen ions
     occurs in two phases: light reactions and dark reactions (Calvin cycle)
     Have an electron transport chain
     occurs in three phases: Glycolysis, Krebs cycle and Electron transport chain
     process where food made by photosynthesis is converted in to energy for plants
     Both utilize ATP for energy
     process where plants use sunlight to produce food
     occurs in plants and some bacteria
     Both involve exchanging of oxygen and carbon dioxide
     occurs in all living organisms
     uses the glucose produced from photosynthesis to create ATP
     Both have alternate pathways; C3, C4 and CAM(photosynthesis) and fermentation(cellular respiration)
     Requires energy to produce glucose
     turns sugar back into CO2 and H20

     Turns CO2 and H20 into sugar
