Question

Describe how matter is transferred during photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Answer 1

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected through an important relationship. This relationship enables life to survive as we know it. The products of one process are the reactants of the other. Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis:

Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O2

Answer 2

Cells transfer the energy in organic compounds, especially the glucose made during photosynthesis, to ATP through cellular respiration, which begins with glycolysis.
