Answer 1

Respiration:

• Respiration is the process in which monosaccharide glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen. It releases energy that the organisms use for their growth and development.

Photosynthesis:

• Photosynthesis is the process in which atmospheric carbon dioxide and water are used to form glucose molecules. It produces oxygen molecule that is released back into the air.

Respiration	Photosynthesis
Respiration uses atmospheric oxygen molecules and releases carbon dioxide into the environment.	Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen molecules into the environment.
2. It occurs at night in plants.	2. It occurs during the daytime in plants.
