∙ 9y agoThat is a good question. You are very correct. The glucose is formed in photosynthesis, from carbon bi oxide and water molecules. The energy of sun is consumed in this process. In cellular respiration, you get the carbon bi oxide and water and the same amount of energy is released here. That is in tune with the law of conservation of the energy from physics.

Why does photosynthesis not continue during the night like cellular respiration does?
plants respire during the day as well the rate of respiration is lower than the rate of photosynthesis in the day
In what way is photosynthesis and cellular respiration interdependent processes?
the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis requires CO2 (carbon dioxide) organisms that are heterotrophs, like us, which cannot produce their own food consume autotrophs like plants, which do produce their own food. a by-product of cellular respiration is CO2 a by-product of photosynthesis is O2 organisms like us need O2 to live organisms like plants need CO2 to live (and to support us in life--we eat them because they have sugar [i.e., glucose])
How are photosynthesis and cellular respirations reverse operations?
Photosynthesis produces organic compounds by converting the energy in light to to make compounds like glucose by using CO2 and water. Oxygen is expelled as a waste product of that reaction. Cellular respiration uses organic compounds like glucose and it uses O2. CO2 and water are released. The CO2 is the waste produce of cellular respiration that is used in photosynthesis. The energy that came from light is used in respiration.
How is cellular respiration diffrient from photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the opposites of each other. Photosynthesis takes in energy (from the sun's light) and stores that energy in complex sugars. Cellular respiration breaks down these complex sugars and turns the stored energy into the usable form of energy, ATP.
Is cellular respiration found in mitochondria in plant cells or animal cells of both?
Cellular Respiration is only in animals. Photosynthesis is in plants. To be precise, photosynthesis is in the mitochondria of organism like us, and respiration is in the leaves of plants. Photosynthesis and Respiration together are a cycle- plants give out oxygen and use carbon dioxide while we humans (and other organisms) use oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. I just just learned this in school. :)

How do plants get their energy from photosynthesis?
Plants harvest the chemical energy from the sugars they produced in photosynthesis. They have mitochondria and are capable of running cellular respiration. Cellular respiration breaks down macromolecules (like sugars) and turns it into usable energy for the cell.
Do plants carry out cellular respiration and why?
Yes, plants do use energy to carry out cellular respiration, but this is only during investment stages. There is a net increase of energy through the process of cellular respiration, as it is the same process that occurs in all other eukaryotic life.

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 are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related in terms of energy?
Photosynthesis is the processes that plants use to transform sunlight into energy for the plants to use. Cellular respiration is very much like photosynthesis however rather then be simply just for plants it is how organisms as a whole convert various forms of energy in order to use it.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the opposites of each other. Photosynthesis takes in energy (from the sun's light) and stores that energy in complex sugars. Cellular respiration breaks down these complex sugars and turns the stored energy into the usable form of energy, ATP.

What are the products (results) of cellular respiration?
The end products of the entire process of typical uncomplicated cellular respiration -->are 36 or 38 ATP, 6 oxygen molecules, 6 carbon dioxide molecules, and 6 water molecules. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are different things though, I see that your question is under the category of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis (happens in green plants) produces glucose and oxygen. It then uses the glucose to begin cellular respiration in it's mitochondria.. plants need ATP too. They just use photosynthesis as a way of producing the sugar they need to produce ATP...just like we eat sugar for our energy production (cellular respiration)
Do plants need to carry out cellular respiration?
Plants, like the majority of evolved organisms, do use cellular respiration in order to convert energy stored in chemical bonds into usable energy. They do not use it for energy from the sun; this is photosynthesis. Plants do go through photosynthesis more than cellular respiration, so the net effect is a production of glucose and oxygen and consumption of water and carbon dioxide.
Where does a plant get its energy for photosynthesis and what is the energy transformed into after photosynthesis is complete?
They produce glucose which is then used for cellular respiration. (Glucose is chemical energy, it has high energy bonds, which when broken in cellular respiration produce a net of 38 ATP (adenosine triphophate))
