Solution

Photosynthesis:
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants obtain their food with the help of carbon dioxide, water, light, and chlorophyll (a green color pigment in plants).
Respiration:
Respiration is the oxidation of glucose into energy (ATP) along with carbon dioxide and water as a byproduct.
Photosynthesis
Respiration
1. Photosynthesis depends on sunlight. 1. Respiration does not depend on sunlight.
2. Chlorophyll (Green-coloured pigment found in the chloroplast of plant cells) is required for photosynthesis. 2. Respiration do not require chlorophyll.
3. End product is Oxygen. 3. End products are ATP, Carbon dioxide and water.
4. Photosynthesis results in weight gain and growth. 4. Respiration results in weight loss.
