Cellular respiration is the process in which the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes. Oxidation of organic material---in a bonfire, for example---is an exothermic reaction that releases a large amount of energy rather quickly. The equation for the oxidation of glucose is:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy released (2830 kJ mol−1)

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


Where is photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, water, and light energy is turned into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen and turned into carbon dioxide, water, and energy. As you can see, the are both really a big cycle.


Why would a cell need to do photosynthesis and cell respiration?

A cell needs to do photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy in the form of glucose. It then undergoes cell respiration to break down glucose and release stored energy for cellular processes. Together, photosynthesis and cell respiration maintain the cell's energy balance for growth, maintenance, and reproduction.


What are the formulas for photosynthesis and cell respiration?

See the questions in the "Related Questions" section below for each individual equation.


How is aerobic respiration similar to photosynthesis?

Both aerobic respiration and photosynthesis involve the exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide). Both processes require the use of electron transport chains to generate ATP. Additionally, both processes involve the creation and utilization of a proton gradient across a membrane to generate energy.

How are the products of photosynthesis related to cell respiration?

it is related to photosynthesis because of the products glucose and oxygen are used to start cell respiration. Glucose and oxygen carry it out to produce energy.plants also go through cell respiration


How are cell respiration and photosynthesis connected?

cell respiration consumes oxygen and sugars and produces CO2, photosynthesis consumes CO2 and produces oxygen and sugars


Does DNA replicate in cellular respiration or photosynthesis?

There is no replication of the DNA in cellular respiration or photosynthesis. In cellular respiration, you have biological oxidation of the glucose molecule. In case of the photosynthesis you have the reverse process that takes place.
