Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Cycle Explained #3349495 (License: Personal Use)

The diagram depicts the complementary processes of photosynthesis in chloroplasts (using sunlight, CO₂, and H₂O to produce glucose and O₂) and aerobic respiration in mitochondria (breaking down glucose and O₂ to release ATP, CO₂, and H₂O). Arrows show the cyclical flow of matter and energy between organelles, highlighting their interdependence in plant cells. Sunlight drives the entire system, making it foundational to life on Earth.

Used in biology education-especially middle school, high school, or introductory college courses-to teach energy transformation in cells. Matches user intent for visual learning, study aids, or curriculum resources on plant physiology and bioenergetics.
