What is Aerobic Respiration?
Aerobic respiration is the main means by which both plants and animals utilize energy in the form of organic compounds that was previously created through photosynthesis

In aerobic respiration you use oxygen (O2) and glucose to get chemical energy for the cell (ATP) by the citric acid cycle and the oxidative phosphorylation. The global formula goes like this:
C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP)
When you go photosynthesis, you use CO2 and light energy to make glucose:
6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) + photons → C6H12O6(aq) + 6 O2(g)
The light energy turns into chemical energy by breaking water into Hydrogen and Oxygen:
2 H2O + 2 NADP+ + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + light → 2 NADPH + 2 H+ + 2 ATP + O2
I suggest you go look for it so you can check the processess.
Hope it helps!

Both of them are part of metabolism which will produce energy, but they have their own ways
cell respiration is catabolism (breakdown complex molecules to simpler one), but
photosynthesis is anabolism (built complex molecules from the simple molecules)
