Answer:

Photosynthesis remove the carbon dioxide from atmosphere and release oxygen while cellular respiration release the carbon dioxide in atmosphere and consume oxygen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Cellular respiration:

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

it is the reverse of photosynthesis.

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration

2. Anaerobic respiration

The Anaerobic respiration occur in the absence of oxygen.
