Cellular Respiration for Animal Cell
Cellular repiration releases carbon dioxide and water, which are used to make glucose.The word respiration means "breathing," but cellular respiration is different from breathing. Cellular respiration is a chemical process that occurs in cells. During cellular respiration, food ( like glucose) is broken down into CO2 and H2O, and energy is released.
Most processes of cellular respiration takes place in the cell membrane of a prokaryotic cell.
The formula for cellular repiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 yields 6CO2 + 6H20 + energy (ATP). If you didn't know what ATP stands for it stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.

Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
Plants have molecules that abosorb light energy. They are molecules called pigments. Chlorophyll is the main pigment in phtotsynthesis, it gives plants their green color. Chlorophyll is found in chloroplasts. The formula for photosynthesis is like cellular respiration, but it is flipped. The formula is 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy yields + C6H12O6 + 6O2. Plants used the energy captured by chlorophyll to transform carbon dioxide and water into food. The food is in the form of glucose, sugar.
Glucose is a carbohydrate. The energy in glucose is used by the plant cells.
