What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? Explain in detail.

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration are backwards equations.

The Photosynthesis equation is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight Energy---> C6H12O6 + 6O 2

Whereas Cellular Respiration is C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2 O + energy

CO2 = Carbon Dioxide

H20 = Water

Sunlight Energy = energy from the sun

C6H12O6 = Glucose

O2 = Oxygen

Energy = Bodily Energy

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water
