Question

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? Explain in detail.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water

Answer 2

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are backwards equations.
The Photosynthesis equation is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight Energy---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Whereas Cellular Respiration is C6H12O6+6O2→6CO2+6H2O+energy

CO2 = Carbon Dioxide
H20 = Water
Sunlight Energy = energy from the sun
C6H12O6 = Glucose
O2 = Oxygen
Energy = Bodily Energy
