Photosynthesis is an anabolic pathway deals with the formation of glucose bt Utilizing ATP as energy source where respiration is a catabolic pathway that deals with the breakdown of glucose resulting the formation of carbon dioxide and water along with the generation of ATP molecules.
Explanation:
Reaction of photosynthesis
6CO2+12H2O=C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O
This is a Redox reaction in which Carbon dioxide get reduced to form glucose molecule where the water molecules are oxidized to generate oxygen molecules.
Reaction of Respiration
C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O+Energy
This reaction deals with oxidation of glucose into carbon dioxide and the reduction of oxygen to generate water along with the formation of ATP molecules.
