HOW PHOTOSYNTHESIS DIFFER FROM RESPIRATION |
Photosynthesis an anabolic process. Co2 and water are used for synthesizing carbohydrate molecules.Co2 is taken in and O2 is given out. It takes place in the presence of sunlight and in the chloroplast. Solar energy is stored in the covalent bonds of organic molecules. Increases in dry mass. Anabolic process in which food material is synthesized and energy is stored. Energy is stored in the form of bonds in organic compounds. CO2+ 12 H2O ____C6H12O6 + 6 H2O + 6O2 Respiration is a catabolic process, where energy is released and fixed in the ATP molecules. C6H12O6 + O2 _____6O2 + 6H2O + 283kj energy CO2 and H2O are released during break down of carbohydrate molecules. O2 is taken in and CO2 is given out. It takes place continuously throughout the life. It takes place in mitochondria. Bond energy in the form of ATP is released.It results in decrease in dry mass. |
