Solution:

The oxidative breakdown of respiratory substrates with the help of atmospheric is known as aerobic respiration. It involves complete breakdown of substrates into and water, releasing energy. For example, the simple chemical equation for aerobic breakdown of glucose is

While during photosynthesis chlorophyll a gets oxidised to transfer molecules to the electron transport chain.
