Compare photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In what types of cells do these processes occur?

But photosynthesis occurs only in plants. But photosynthesis can happen to 4 animals. It is only an exception, however. Sea slug and pea aphid may perform photosynthesis, oriental hornet, spotted salamander.

Explanation:

ATP is the main energy source of the cell. The most important final product of cellular respiration.

The two main final photosynthesis products are glucose and oxygen.

Some of the cellular respiration enzyme reactions occur in the cytoplasm but the bulk is in the mitochondria. Inside the chloroplast, photosynthesis occurs.

NADH is the high-energy cellular respiration electron carrier, while NADPH is photosynthesized as a powerful electron carrier.

In the cell chloroplasts, photosynthesis is carried out. This process gives energy directly or indirectly to all living organisms. Life on Earth would be no longer there without it.

Although photosynthesis needs energy and produces food, cellular breathing breaks food down and releases energy. Photosynthesis and respiration are carried out by plants while animals can only breathe.
