Answer:

Photosynthesis:

  • Function- Energy Capture
  • Location of reactions- Chloroplast

Respiration

  • Energy release
  • Location of reactions- Mitochondria

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis, occurs in the chloroplasts of plants. Here, solar energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of stable carbohydrates.

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light Glucose + Oxygen

Chloroplasts, are small membrane-bound organelles of multi-folded membranes containing pigments, enzymes, and other molecules that facilitate the process.

Nutrients for a number of metabolic processes are basic compounds and macromolecules available. Through processing organic matter such as lipids, fats and proteins, animals get energy in heterotrophic nutrition.

For one for all metabolic processes, animals use carbohydrates as food. This occurs in the mitochondria...

C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

Glucose + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light
