Detailed explanation-1: -The equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis. The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen during photosynthesis and cellular respiration worldwide helps to keep atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide at stable levels.
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: -Answer and Explanation: Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are almost opposite processes because in photosynthesis, the sugar glucose is formed and in cellular respiration, glucose is broken apart. The purpose of photosynthesis is to use the sun’s energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis and respiration are reactions that complement each other in the environment. They are in reality the same reactions but occurring in reverse. While in photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen, through the respiration process glucose and oxygen yield carbon dioxide and water.
