Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water, and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and other organic molecules to produce energy (ATP), using oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interconnected processes; photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
