Question

The table below is intended to give certain differences between photosynthesis and respiration, but a few points are given wrongly. Strike out the wrong ones and write the correct words instead.

Photosynthesis	Respiration
Results in loss in weight	Results in gain in weight
Sucrose is the product	Sucrose is broken down
Occurs in green cells only	Occurs in all cells
Uses water and oxygen	Uses glucose and oxygen

Answer 1

The table below is intended to give certain differences between photosynthesis and respiration, but a few points are given wrongly. Strike out the wrong ones and write the correct words instead.​

Photosynthesis	Respiration
Results in gain in weight	Results in loss in weight
Sucrose is the product	Sucrose is broken down
Occurs in green cells only	Occurs in all cells
Uses water and carbondioxide	Uses glucose and oxygen

-Photosynthesis is the process of formation of food molecules in the form of glucose and hence it causes the weight gain of the plant as it adds the molecules in the plant.​

​-Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to produce food molecules in the presence of sunlight.​

Photosynthesis​	Respiration​
(i) Results in gain in weight ​	Results in loss in weight​
(ii) Glucose is the product​	Glucose is broken down​
(iii) Occurs in green cells only​	Occurs in all cells ​
(iv) Uses carbon dioxide and water​	Uses oxygen and glucose​
