How are the reactions of photosynthesis and cellular respiration interconnected? The reactions are opposites of one another, each using the products of the other as reactants. Both reactions require ATP as the energy source, but photosynthesis only happens in plants. Every organism carries out both processes at the same time but in different parts of the organism. Animals rely on photosynthesis in plants, and plants rely on respiration as the source for their ATP.

Madhur L.
Plants carry out both photosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation (see the Chemistry in Action "Plants and Photosynthesis" on p. 696 ). Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, while oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondria. Name some similarities and some differences between photosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation.
