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:
$6 CO_2+6 H_2 O \rightarrow C_6 H_{12} O_6+6 O_2$

    There are four organisms A, B, C and D. The organism A eats only the flesh of other animals as food. The organism B can eat grains, fruits and vegetables as well as meat and fish. The organism C can make the food itself from simple inorganic substances present in the environment by utilising sunlight energy. On the other hand, organism D eats only plants and their products as food.
