Answer: Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are used to make energy.

Some differences include that photosynthesis takes place in a chloroplast in eukaryotes while cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria in eukaryotes. Photosynthesis requires light, cellular respiration does not. Photosynthesis is an anabolic process while cellular respiration is a catabolic process.
