How they Differ.

First Photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the way plants make their  "food". To do this you need Light/Energy or L,  Carbon dioxide or CO2, and Water or H2O.  First the plant combines the CO2 and H2O in it's Chloroplast. Then when you add light the combine and mix to make a chemical reaction and provides Glucose (the plants "food" or sugar) or C6H12O6 also it makes Oxygen or O2.

Next we have Cellular Respiration.
Cellular Respiration is the process of making Energy and Nutrition and Oxygen for your body. To do this you need Glucose or C6H12O6 also you need O2. First the Glucose goes into the Chloroplast and turns into Pyruvic acid and some energy. Then the Pyruvic acid comes into the Mitochondria and combines with the Oxygen. This makes Water or H2O, Carbon Dioxide or CO2, and Energy or E.

How they Relate

If you didn't already know or observe is that the Components or Reactants of Photosynthesis ( CO2 + H2O + L)  are the Products that Cellular Respiration (CO2 + H2O). Same thing with Cellular Respiration the Products of Photosynthesis (C6H12O6  + O2)  are the Reactants of Cellular Respiration (C6H12O6 + O2 ). So Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis help each other.

I carried out an investagation in class when we did a GIZMO on Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis. This was where we did an interactive online research center and filled out a work sheet on it. We had to learn what happened in both cycles and how they connected and differed.
