Question

Photosynthesis and Respiration can be summarized into equations. Write the equations and how do they relate to one another.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is an anabolic pathway deals with the formation of glucose bt Utilizing ATP as energy source where respiration is a catabolic pathway that deals with the breakdown of glucose resulting the formation of carbon dioxide and water along with the generation of ATP molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reaction of photosynthesis

6CO2+12H2O=C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O

This is a Redox reaction in which Carbon dioxide get reduced to form glucose molecule where the water molecules are oxidized to generate oxygen molecules.

Reaction of Respiration

C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O+Energy

This reaction deals with oxidation of glucose into carbon dioxide and the reduction of oxygen to generate water along with the formation of ATP molecules.
