What’s on the Respiration & Photosynthesis poster
Photosynthesis against Respiration, side by side.
- Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
- Photosynthesis: Chloroplast
- Photosynthesis: Anabolic — builds glucose
- Photosynthesis: Requires light
- Photosynthesis: Stores energy in bonds
- Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O
- Respiration: Mitochondrion and cytoplasm
- Respiration: Catabolic — breaks glucose down
- Respiration: Continuous
- Respiration: Releases energy as ATP
- They are not simple reverses: different enzymes, different locations, different inter…
Plants respire continuously and photosynthesise only in light. The compensation point is where the two rates are equal.

- Who is the Respiration & Photosynthesis poster for?
- Respiration & Photosynthesis belongs to the Biology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning biochemistry can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Respiration & Photosynthesis poster?
- Nearly mirror images, but not simple reverses of each other. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Respiration & Photosynthesis belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Respiration & Photosynthesis?
- Amino Acids, ATP and Food Tests sit alongside Respiration & Photosynthesis in the Biology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Amino AcidsATPFood Tests
- Is the Respiration & Photosynthesis poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Respiration & Photosynthesis downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Biology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Respiration & Photosynthesis poster print at?
- Respiration & Photosynthesis is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Respiration & Photosynthesis loses nothing.Printing guide
