Answer 1

Cellular respiration uses oxygen as a reactant and photosynthesis does not.

Cellular respiration produces excess ATP and photosynthesis does not.

Cellular respiration is performed by consumers and photosynthesis is not.

Cellular respiration releases energy from glucose molecules and photosynthesis does not.

These all apply

Answer 2

Answer;

• Cellular respiration uses oxygen as a reactant and photosynthesis does not.
• Cellular respiration produces excess ATP and photosynthesis does not.
• Cellular respiration is performed by consumers and photosynthesis is not.
• Cellular respiration releases energy from glucose molecules and photosynthesis does not.

Explanation;

• Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy from the sun to make their own food in chloroplasts present in the leaves of the plants. The process converts light energy into chemical energy.
• Photosynthesis uses light, energy, together with water and carbon dioxide to form simple sugars and oxygen as a by product .

• Cellular respiration is the process by which food substances such as glucose are broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP. The process takes place in three phases, glycolysis, kreb's cycle and electron transport system.
• The reactants of photosynthesis, namely, carbon dioxide, water are the products of cellular respiration. While the reactants of cellular respiration namely, simple sugars and oxygen are the products of photosynthesis.
