Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis makes glucose which is used in cellular respiration for making ATP. The glucose is then transformed back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. It helps cells to release and store energy. It maintains the atmospheric balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -During cellular respiration, the reactants-glucose (sugar) and oxygen-combine together to form new products: carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is produced as the form of energy that can be used for other cellular processes.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the output of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) is used as the input for cellular respiration, while the output of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) is used as the input for photosynthesis. They are essentially reciprocal processes.
