Photosynthesis:
1. It is an anabolic process.6CO2 + 12H2O -- C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
2. CO2 and H2O are used for synthesizing carbohydrate molecules.
3. CO2 is taken in and O2 is given out.
4. It takes place in presence of light.
5. It takes place in chloroplast.
6. Solar energy is stored in the covalent bonds of organic molecules.
7. It results in an increase in dry mass.
Respiration:
1. It is a catabolic process. C6H12O6 + O2 -- 6O2 -- 6H2O + 283kj energy
2. CO2 and H2O are released during break down of carbohydrate molecules.
3. O2 is taken in and CO2 is given out.
4. It takes place continuously throughout the life.
5. it takes place in mitochondria.
6. Bond energy in form of ATP is released.
7. It results in an decrease in dry mass.

the photosynthesis is a process in which the plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight and taking CO2 from the atmosphere to form glucose ....
rispiration is a process of humans in which the O2 is converted to glucose to get energy .
the respiratin is done by two process
1 - breathing process
2 - by intake of food

Differences between respiration and photosynthesis are as follows-
Respiration | Photosynthesis |
The process in which food is broken down in the cells to release energy is known as respiration. | The process by which green plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight,chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water is known as photosynthesis. |
It involves the release of energy. | It involves the use of light energy |
Respiration is the process in which the organisms take oxygen from outside and give out carbon dioxide to the surroundings. | During photosynthesis plants take carbon dioxide from outside and give out oxygen to the surroundings. |
It is performed by both plants and animals only | It is performed by plants only. |
Equation for respiration is C6H1206(glucose) + 602(oxygen)------> 6H2O(water) + 6CO2(carbon dioxide) + energy | Equation for photosynthesis is |

Equation for respiration is
C6H1206(glucose) + 602(oxygen)------ 6H2O(water) + 6CO2(carbon dioxide) + energy

The differences between respiration and photosynthesis are:
Respiration
1.It is a catabolic process in which food material is broken down and energy is release.
2. Carbohydrates, like glucose, act as raw materials. Oxygen is required in aerobic respiration
3. The process of respiration goes on 24 hours a day.
4. Every living cell of the organism respires.
5. The end products of respiration are H2O, CO2, and energy in form of ATP.
6. The day weight of the plant decreases due to utilization of food materials.
Photosynthesis
1.It is an anabolic process in which food material is synthesized and energy is stored.
2. Carbon dioxide, water, chlorophyll and light act as raw mate4rials.
3. In natural conditions it takes place in daytime, because light is essential for this process.
4. Only chlorophyll containing cells can carry out the process of photosynthesis.
5. O2, ATP and food material are the end-products of photosynthesis.
6. The day weight of the plant increases due to synthesis of food material.
