What is Photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

What is Cellular Respiration?

Back

Cellular Respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and other organic molecules to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is used as energy by the cell.
