How do the overall procces of cellular respiration and photosynthesis compare?

In: Botany or Plant Biology, Photosynthesis [Edit categories]

Answer:

They are basically reverse reactions of the other.

Photosynthesis
H₂O + CO₂ + Energy (light) --> Sugar + O₂

Cellular Respiration

How do the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration compare?
The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. The equation for photosynthesis is 6H2O + 6CO2 + Light Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Cellular respiration does not...
Compare the cellular respiration and photosynthesis equation?
it is because the cellular respiration does not require light energy while photosynthesis require light energy

It has the same formula but backwards
How do the products of photosynthesis compare to the reactants of cellular respiration?
they are they same. the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose and the reactants of cellular respiration are gluose and oxygen.
