Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
A
They have opposite equations
B
they have the same equation
C
they both produce carbon dioxide
D
they both produce oxygen
Explanation: 

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: -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-3: -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.
