This is photosynthesis:
Sunlight + 6CO2 + 6H2O ----> 6O2, C6H12O6
This is cellular respiration:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----> 6CO2, 6H2O, ATP
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.
The reverse of photosynthesis is cellular respiration.
Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
Cellular respiration produces, the reactants for photosynthesis, so without cellular respiration photosynthesis, couldn't occur.
Photosynthesis CO2 + H2O + Sunlight Cellular respiration O + Glucose Raw materials for these processes.
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.

Cellular respiration. Their chemical equations are the reverse of each other.
The reverse of photosynthesis is cellular respiration.
Cellular Respiration
They perform cellular respiration but not photosynthesis.
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O.
Cellular respiration produces, the reactants for photosynthesis, so without cellular respiration photosynthesis, couldn't occur.
cellular respiration is pretty much the opposite of photosynthesis..i think.
The opposite of photosynthesis is cellular respiration. Photosynthesis stores up energy in the form of complex sugars while cellular respiration breaks down these sugars in order to harvest their energy. The fact that they are opposites are reflected in their chemical equations, as shown below. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --> 6C6H12O6 + 6O2 Cellular respiration: 6C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 34ATP
