How do the equations of photosynthesis and cellular respiration compare?

To compare the equations for respiration an photosynthesis, you must first see what the equations are.
Respiration- sugar + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + engergy
photosynthesis- carbon dioxide + water = light energy = sugar+ oxygen
The difference between these two equations are, they seem to be backwards from each other. So they are flipped around, see how respiration starts with sugar +oxygen and ends with carbon dioxide + water, but photosynthesis is the exact oposite.
What is the same about the two is they have the same "ingredients". :)
I hope this helped you to understand photosynthesis and respiration better. :) look below for the last answer that i improved by a lot. :)
idk, how i am i sposed to no this, i learned this in scince class lst year.;(

∙ 13y agoThe equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy.
The equation for photosynthesis is 6H2O + 6CO2 + Light Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Cellular respiration does not require light energy, and photosynthesis does.

∙ 12y agoA general equation for photosynthesis is:
6 CO2(gas) + 12 H2O(liquid) + photons → C6H12O6(aqueous) + 6 O2(gas) + 6 H2O(liquid)
carbon dioxide + water + light energy → glucose + oxygen + water
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A general equation for respiration is:
aerobic respiration:
Glucose + Oxygen ---> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
anaerobic respiration:
glucose --> lactic acid + energy

∙ 10y agoPhotosynthesis's equation is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Cellular respiration's equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 34-36ATP
These equations are just about the reverse of each other. What is built up by photosynthesis is broken down by cellular respiration. What happens is the light energy is now in the form of usable cellular energy.

6CO +6H O+ Energy = C H O +6O

Respiration:
C H O +6O = 6H O + Energy
6 12 6 2 2

∙ 13y agoit is because the cellular respiration does not require light energy while photosynthesis require light energy

What role does diffusion play in cellular respiration?
well ask yourself what does diffusion mean and compare it to cellular respiration and photosynthesis
How does reaction for photosynthesis compare to the cellular respiration?
they are they same. the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose and the reactants of cellular respiration are gluose and oxygen.
Compare aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to produce a large number of ATP molecules, which are used in the cell as energy. Anaerobic respiration used an electron transport chain without oxygen, produces lactic acid, and produces very little ATP and, as such, very little energy.
How can i compare and contrast cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
Right here, just visualize the circles: Photosynthesis: * Only in plants and some bacteria * Occurs in chloroplasts * Reactants: CO2, H2O & Light Energy * Products: O2 & Glucose Similarities: * Both involve O2, H2O, CO2, H2O, Glucose & energy * Both are REDOX reactions Respiration: * In both plants and animals * Occurs in the mitochondria * Reactants: O2 & Glucose * Products: CO2, H2O & Energy
Compare photosynthesis with respiration?
the first takes CO2 and H2O to give sugar and O2 the other takes sugar plus O2 and gives CO2 and H2O
Explain the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration and compare?
they both create something in the end the person before me had this stupid answer. look up:0

How do the product of photosynthesis compare to the reactants of respiration?
they are they same. the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose and the reactants of cellular respiration are gluose and oxygen.
How do the overall procces of cellular respiration and photosynthesis compare?
They are basically reverse reactions of the other. Photosynthesis H2O + CO2 + Energy (light) --> Sugar + O2 Cellular Respiration Sugar + O2 --> H2O + CO2 + Energy (ATP)
How does the equation for cellular respiration compare with the equation for photosynthesis?
The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. The equation for photosynthesis is 6H2O + 6CO2 + Light Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Cellular respiration does not require light energy, and photosynthesis does.
How does the reaction of photosynthesis compare to the reaction of cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --> 6C6H12O6 + 6O2 Cellular respiration: 6C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 34ATP These processes are the reverse of each other with the net being light energy yielding ATP. Although it is not this simple, it shows that the energy from light ultimately ends up as the chemical energy in cells.
Compare the energy storage in photosynthesis to the energy storage in cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. Cellular respiration is the process in which an organism breaks down fuel to capture energy in a usable form (ATP). So, the two processes cannot really be compared with respect to energy storage. Photosynthesis is an anabolic process (synthesis of glucose) while respiration is the catabolism of glucose to release the chemical bond energy of the glucose into an usable form (ATP).
Compare phtosynthesis and respiration?
the equations are backward but are the same molecules or substances being used
Compare and contrast the functions of photosynthesis and respiration. Explain the relationship between the processes.?
photosynthesis and respiration are linked because they both involve the exchange of the gases; oxygen and carbon dioxide.
How do the equations for photosynthesis and aerobic compare?
they are inverse/opposite each other
Compare aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to produce a large number of ATP molecules, which are used in the cell as energy. Anaerobic respiration used an electron transport chain without oxygen, produces lactic acid, and produces very little ATP and, as such, very little energy.
