Similarities and differences of photosynthesis and cellular respiration
- The inputs of photosynthesis are the outputs of cellular respiration and vis versa - Scientists say that photosynthesis is the opposite of cellular respiration

New cards
Aerobic Respiration
- Occurs when oxygen is present - More efficient and produces 36 ATP
14
New cards
Anaerobic Respiration
- Occurs when oxygen is not present - Less efficient and produces 2 ATP
