What are the key differences between photosynthesis and aerobic respiration in terms of their processes and functions?

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. It occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Aerobic respiration is a process in which cells break down glucose using oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water. It occurs in the mitochondria of cells. The key difference is that photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, while aerobic respiration breaks down glucose to produce energy.
