Dear Student,

Photosynthesis and respiration are opposite to each other in many ways. These are as follows:
Respiration Photosynthesis
The process in living organisms of taking in oxygen from the surroundings and giving out carbon dioxide The process in plants of taking carbon dioxide from outside and give out oxygen to the surroundings.
In respiration, the food is broken down into the cells in order to release energy. Plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water
Energy is released in the living organisms Light energy is consumed by plants.
The process can take place in animals and plants also. The process can take place in plants only.
Equation:
C6H12O6(glucose) + 6O2 6H2O + 6CO2 + energy
Equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6(glucose) + 6O2
