Detailed explanation-1: -The products of one process are the reactants of the other. Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O.
Detailed explanation-2: -In photosynthesis, energy-storing glucose is created, and in cellular respiration, glucose is broken apart. Both equations contain the exact same molecules, but switch places as reactants and products.
Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are almost opposite processes. Looking at their equations, they differ only in the form of energy that is being absorbed or released. However, they are not simply the reversal of each other, as each one takes place in its own particular series of steps.
