Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of plant and animal cells.
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. To arrive at this answer, we can recall that photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other organisms convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. This complex biochemical process takes place in the chloroplasts, which are specialized organelles found in the cells of plants.
Cellular respiration, on the other hand, occurs in the mitochondria of animal and plant cells. To determine this, we can remember that cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and other organic molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This essential metabolic process happens in the mitochondria, which are found in the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, including plant cells.
