Cell respiration and photosynthesis

Types of respiration

External respiration (breathing) and internal respiration (cell respiration)

External respiration (breathing)

Breathing involves exchange of gases between the organism and environment

Internal respiration (cell respiration)

The oxidation process and break down of glucose that occur inside living cells to release energy

Requirement for cell respiration

Oxygen and glucose

End product of cell respiration

Energy, carbon dioxide and water

Requirements for photosynthesis

Light energy, carbon dioxide, water and chlorophyll

Photosynthesis

Food made by plants is kept in the form of glucose known as starch

The presence of starch in leaves

Occurence of photosynthesis

The process of photosynthesis

The process of cell respiration and photosynthesis complement each other
