Photosynthesis builds food and stores energy; respiration breaks food to release energy.
Completed Table
| Feature | Photosynthesis | Respiration |
|---|---|---|
| Raw materials | Carbon dioxide and water (with sunlight and chlorophyll) | Glucose and oxygen |
| Products | Glucose and oxygen | Carbon dioxide, water, and energy |
| Word equation | Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen | Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy |
| Importance | Makes food and releases oxygen | Releases energy for growth and life |
The two processes are opposite, and together they keep the plant alive.
