What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water.

What is the primary function of cellular respiration?

Back

To convert glucose into usable energy (ATP) and produce carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
