The overall equation of photosynthesis is:
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
The overall equation for respiration is:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H20 + Energy.
From these equations, it can be seen that the end products of photosynthesis are the starting products of the respiration process while the end products of the respiration process are the starting products of photosynthesis process.
