Photosynthesis and respiration cycle
Photosynthesis is the process of plants getting their food. First they take in sunlight that is then transferred into sugar or glucose for the plant in the chloroplast. Without photosynthesis we wouldn't have oxygen to breath because the plants would die. Cellar respiration is a chemical process where it breaks down the plants food and turns it into energy called ATP. The difference between the food is that photosynthesis makes food for the plant while respiration takes the food and converts it into energy.
