Contrary to what a previous poster states, photosynthesis does NOT create ATP. Photosynthesis has an end product of glucose sugar (C6H12O6). Cellular respiration uses this sugar and converts it to ATP.
The main similarity between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is that they both occur in plant cells.

Both of these processes are used to produce energy (ATP) for the organism (either plant or animal cell).
Although the processes are effectively the reverse of eachother (ie photosynthesis uses CO2 to produce O2 and respiration uses O2 to produce CO2) the reaction taking place is the same but in opposite directions but using some of the same enzymes.

Both photosynthesis and respiration occur in specialized organelles, each with two membranes. The processes of photosynthesis and respiration are exact opposites, with the products of photosynthesis being the reactants in respiration. Both can happen in plants, but only respiration can happen in animals.

they both use glucose.
