Differences between Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis:
 
Cellular Respiration
Photosynthesis
1.
Occurs in all living organisms.
Occurs only in all green plants, algae, and in some bacteria.
2.
The entire process occurs in Mitochondria.
The entire process occurs in Chloroplasts.
3.
Glucose and oxygen are the reactants of this process.
Carbon dioxide, water, and light energy are the reactants of this process.
4.
In this process, food particles are broken down to release energy.
In this process, food is synthesis by capturing the energy.
5.
It is an exergonic reaction as energy is released.
It is an endothermic reaction as it requires energy.
6.
This process does not require sunlight since cellular respiration occurs all the time.
This process requires sunlight since photosynthesis occurs only in the presence of sunlight.
7.
The chemical reaction of cellular Respiration is:
$C_6 H_{12} O_6+6 O_2 \rightarrow 6 CO_2+6 H_2 O$
The chemical reaction of photosynthesis is:
$6 CO_2+6 H_2 O \rightarrow C_6 H_{12} O_6+6 O_2$

    Water and dissolved minerals get into the root hair of a plant by a process called A and enter the conducting tissue B. The process C helps the water and dissolved minerals to move up through the tissue B in roots and stem, and reach the leaves of a plant. In the leaves food is made by a process D. This food is then transported to all the parts of a plant through tissue E. The process of distributing food made in the leaves to all the parts of the plants is called F.
