Photosynthesis captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which is stored for later use. Cellular respiration, on the other hand, breaks down glucose to produce ATP, which powers cellular activities. Both processes involve key molecules like <strong>ATP<\/strong>, <strong>NADP+\/NADPH<\/strong>, and <strong>NAD+\/NADH<\/strong>, which shuttle electrons and energy between reactions. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, while cellular respiration occurs in the cytoplasm (glycolysis) and mitochondria (aerobic respiration). The energy flow between the two processes ensures that cells can produce and use energy efficiently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Create a concept map to describe the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration occurring within a cell.
