Respiration And Photosynthesis
1. What are the similarities and differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
One uses carbon dioxide and combines it with water and makes energy from the sun. The other will use glucose and oxygen and make energy into ATP with carbon dioxide and water which turns into a waste. Both are involved in making energy and exchange of gases. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplast, whereas breathing takes place in mitochondria.
2. Explain how broad thin leaves are better adapted for photosynthesis compared to thick and stubby leaves.
The thick leaves are broad and have a large surface area letting them absorb more light. The thin shape has a short distance for carbon dioxide to diffuse in and oxygen to diffuse out easily. This chemical
