The simplest way to answer this question is yes. In very general terms photosynthesis is the process of capturing photons for energy that is used for combing the substrates that are the products of aerobic respiration.

Are the products of photosynthesis the raw materials of cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis: carbon dioxide + water (+ sunlight) -------> oxygen + glucose Aerboic Respiration: oxygen + glucose ------> carbon dioxide + water (+ energy) So yes the products of photosynthesis are the raw materials of AEROBIC respiration.
When do green plants carry on respiration?
both photosynthesis and cellular respiration occurs during the day, however, during the night when there is no sunlight only cellular respiration occurs.
How are equations for cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
This is photosynthesis: Sunlight + 6CO2 + 6H2O ----> 6O2, C6H12O6 This is cellular respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----> 6CO2, 6H2O, ATP
How are the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?
The overall equation of photosynthesis differs from the reverse of the overall equation of cellular respiration in that sunlight is not needed in the reverse of cellular respiration. Also, chlorophyll need not be present for the latter process.
Where in the cell does cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
They use both but under different circumstances. During the day, they use photosynthesis. During the night, since there is no sunlight, they have to use cellular respiration to produce energy.

What are the raw materials equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Photosynthesis CO2 + H2O + Sunlight Cellular respiration O + Glucose Raw materials for these processes.

How are Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration linked?
Photosynthesis takes the energy from sunlight and uses it to put together large sugar molecules from the raw ingredients CO2 and H2O. Cellular respiration occurs when organisms break down large sugar molecules to use the energy to do work and release the waste products CO2 and H2O

What is the respiration of green plants?
Photosynthesis, 6co2+6H2o+ sunlight=C6H12O6+6o2 Cellular Respiration is the reverse process of Photosynthesis C6H12O6 =6CO2+6H2O.
What process is cellular respiration sort of the reverse of?
Cellular respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP. Photosynthesis uses sunlight as an energy source and produces oxygen and water.
Why do plant cells need to do cellular respiration if they can make ATP from sunlight?
Plants make ATP through cellular respiration. Photosynthesis, which requires sunlight, does not make ATP - but glucose - which is then converted to ATP by cellular respiration. Therefore plants still need respiration to make ATP.
Why plant cells undergo both photosynthesis and respiration?
Yes. They use photosynthesis to produce sugar from sunlight, and cellular respiration to digest the sugar for 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.
