Cellular respiration is comprises of three steps : 1. Glycolysis : It occurs in cytoplasm of the cell. It is basically conversion of glucose molecule into pyruvate. 2. read more
Cellular respiration in case of plants occurs in mitochondria.There are three main steps involved- 1) Glycosis - it occurs in all plants whether they respire aerobically or anaerobically.But we get different products upon breakdown . read more
Photosynthesis is dependent on sunlight, while respiration does not require sunlight for activation and is constantly performed throughout the plant. Respiration is dependent on oxygen, and may be inhibited by over-watering or in soil incapable of proper drainage, which may deprive a plant's root system of necessary oxygen. read more
If respiration stops in a plant it will die, so plants constantly respire during the day and through the night. Respiration is a different process to photosynthesis, which depends on sunlight and therefore takes place only during the day. read more
Respiration combines oxygen within a plant with stored sugars converted from photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is dependent on sunlight, while respiration does not require sunlight for activation and is constantly performed throughout the plant. read more
