Solution

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 living organism the food is broken down in 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) + 6O_{2 →}6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy Equation:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O −→−−−−−−ChlorophyllSunlight C₆H₁₂O₆(glucose) + 6O₂
