Compare the roles of CO2 and H2O in
To compare: The roles of CO2 and H2O in cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
Concept introduction: Respiration is a chemical process through which plant cells release energy from food molecules and provide energy essential for life. The respiration can be aerobic with oxygen and anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen is termed as cellular respiration. The term photosynthesis is used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy from sunlight into chemical energy and result in the transformation of energy.
