Photosynthesis vs. Cellular Respiration Notes

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, converting light energy into chemical energy, while cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria, breaking down glucose to release energy. The two processes have opposite equations and are essential for the energy cycle in living organisms. Diagrams illustrate the input and output pathways of both processes.

Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration - Class Notes

Photosynthesis

Occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Converts light energy into chemical energy. Equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O

-> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Cellular Respiration

Occurs in mitochondria. Breaks down glucose to release energy. Equation: C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 +

6H2O + ATP

Comparison

Photosynthesis stores energy; respiration releases it. Opposite equations. Both are essential for the energy

cycle in living organisms.

Diagrams

Include chloroplast and mitochondrion diagrams, showing input and output pathways.
