is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. This process mainly occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose molecules. Oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere.

is the process by which cells break down glucose (sugar) and oxygen to produce energy, in the form of ATP, along with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. This process mainly occurs in the mitochondria of the cell. During cellular respiration, chemical energy stored in glucose is released and used by the cell for various functions. Carbon dioxide and water are released into the environment..
