where are metalloids found on the periodic table?
The staircase shapes group closer to the right of the periodic table beside the non metals.

what is cellular respiration and how is it different from photosynthesis.
cellular respiration is glucose+oxygen to sunlight,carbon dioxide and water. It releases energy and is used to get cells what they need to function. Photosynthesis is used for plants and it stores energy. It takes sunlight water and carbon dioxide to make glucose and oxygen.
