People sometimes say that photosynthesis and cellular respiration are “opposites.” Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?

I do NOT agree with that statement; photosynthesis and cellular respiration are simply two different processes. This does not mean that they are necessarily opposites. However, their chemical reaction-equations are opposite of each other. The processes themselves are similar.
