Answer:

they both are different

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of cellular respiration is C6H12O6 ->pyruate ->CO2+H2O+energy

equation of photosynthesis is 6CO2+12H2O on sunlight ->C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O

They are the opposite of each other.
Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, Cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
