Differences Between Photosynthesis and Respiration

SimilaritiesDifferences
Both involve the production of chemical energyPhotosynthesis is an anabolic process
Both involve the production of an electron transport chain and chemiosmosisIn photosynthesis water is broken down to oxygen to release electrons for an electron transport chain
In photosynthesis, electrons from the transport chain are taken up by hydrogen carriers
In photosynthesis, it uses the CC to synthesise glucose
Respiration is a catabolic process
Respiration uses the Krebs Cycle to break down glucose
In respiration, the hydrogen carriers release electrons for an electron transport chain
In respiration, the electrons from the transport chain are then taken up by oxygen
