Best answer

Photosynthesis	Respiration
This process takes place only in autotrophic organisms like plants.	This process takes place in both autotrophs and heterotrophs like plants and animals.
In this process, plants synthesise their food in he presence of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.	During this process exchange of gases takes place in which carbon dioxide is removed from the body and oxygen is taken inside.
Presence of sunlight is an important requirement for photosynthesis to take place.	Respiration has nothing to do with the sunlight.
In this process, carbon dioxide is taken inside while oxygen is released out.	In this process, oxygen is taken inside and carbon dioxide is released out.
Glucose (food) is formed in this process as a product.	No glucose formation takes place while respiration.
