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
