Answer:

Cellular respiration is a catabolic process wherein the energy stored in glucose bonds is released to produce ATP. It is expressed in the form of an equation as 6CO2 + 6H2O -------> C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is that photosynthesis is an anabolic process, where the synthesis of organic compounds occurs, storing energy whereas cellular respiration is a catabolic process, where the stored organic compounds are utilized, producing energy.
