Photosynthesis, process by which green plants and certain other organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple sugar glucose. In so doing, photosynthesis provides the basic energy source for virtually all organisms. An extremely important byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen, on which most organisms depend. Photosynthesis occurs in green plants, seaweeds, algae, and certain bacteria. These organisms are veritable sugar factories, producing millions of new glucose molecules per second. Plants use much of this glucose, a carbohydrate, as an energy source to build leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds.
They're basically opposites of one another. In photosynthesis, light energy, carbon dioxide and water react to form glucose and oxygen. In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy that the cell can use to do work. What happens to the carbon atom: transitioning between photosynthesis and respiration.
