particles moving from a high concentration to a low concentration.

Differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration

photosynthesis is in the chloroplasts while cellular respiration is in the mitochondria. The equations for both are swapped backwards. Photosynthesis produces oxygen while cellular repiration produces carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide while cellular respiration uses oxygen.
