difference between cellular respiration and photosynthesis:
similarities:
form of metabolism

difference:
respiration is breakdown molecules to capture energy, photosynthesis is capture energy to build molecules

Q

Describe the importance of light, water, and carbon dioxide to photosynthesis
water:
Water splits into oxygen, hydrogen ions, and electrons to replace the lost electrons of photosynthesis
carbon dioxide:
sources for plant to fix carbon and produce three-carbon sugars—glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, or G3P, molecules—which join up to form glucose. The carbon that’s fixed and incorporated into sugars during photosynthesis can be used to build other types of organic molecules needed by cells.
