Objective: Create a chart comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences between photosynthesis and cell respiration.

Similarities between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
  • electron transport chain is used for transferring electrons and other stuff between reactions
  • ATP is used in both systems
  • chemiosmosis allows ATP synthesis to make more ATP molecules
Differences  between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
  • Photosynthesis uses Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen to create Glucose and Oxygen
  • Cellular Respiration uses Oxygen and Glycogen to create Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen
  • NADPH is needed in photosynthesis
  • Formula for photosynthesis = C6O2------>C6H12O6+6O2
  • Formula for Cellular Respiration = 6O2 +C6H12O6 ------> 6CO2 +6H2O
