  • Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.
  • Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide.
  • Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Answer:

Carbon dioxide and water are converted to oxygen and glucose through photosynthesis.

Oxygen and glucose are converted into water and carbon dioxide through cellular respiration.

By-products include water and carbon dioxide, while ATP is the energy generated by the process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants use light water and carbon dioxide to make energy (glucose) and oxygen through photosynthesis. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere while the glucose powers the plant's operations. The process through which animals mix glucose and oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water is known as cellular respiration.

Photosynthesis end product is glucose utilised for the production of ATP in the cellular breathing. Glucose is then returned to carbon dioxide, needed for photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, the water is broken down into oxygen, but oxygen is mixed with hydrogen into water in cell respiration.
