Answer:

photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast of plant cells. cellular respiration starts in the cytoplasm then reacts in the mitochondria. if you look at the chemical equation of both photosynthesis and cellular respiration they are reverse of each other. in cellular respiration sugar goes in with oxygen, what comes out is ATP(energy), water, and carbon dioxide gas. in photosynthesis energy, water, and CO2 goes in and what is made is sugar and oxygen. The main purpose of cellular respiration and photosynthesis is to make energy and to store energy for later use.
