How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related

Photosynthesis is how a plant get its energy, cellular respiration converts energy into ATP then it releases waste. Kinda like letting the plants breathe. They are related because 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.

Answer: The oxygen released by photosynthesis is used in cellular respiration

Explanation: The process of photosynthesis takes place by the help of carbon dioxide, water and sunlight.

The product of photosynthesis is carbohydrates and the by product is oxygen. This oxygen is used in the process of cellular respiration in which the carbohydrates is broken down in the presence of oxygen and the energy is stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate.
