How do you think photosynthesis is related to cellular respiration?

Answer:

Hi,

Hypothesis: Photosysnthesis and respiration have an inverse relation eith each other.

There is a very interesting relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. If we talk about photosynthesis it is a process in which green plants use carbon di oxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to produce carbohydrate and Oxygen as a by product.

6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2

If we talk about cellular respiration, it is a series of processes that happen in living organisms' cells in which carbohydrates are converted into ATP along with other products like CO2 and H2O

C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 --> 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + ATP

So, we can clearly see that the reactants of cellular respiration are the products of photosynthesis and vice versa. This is an interesting and fundamental relationship between two processes that makes the existence of both plants as well as animals possible.

Hope it help!

In both processes you are using something to create energy and using it to create or self sustain.
