How respiration and photosynthesis are opposite from each other?

∙ 13y ago
Photosynthesis is when plants absorb things to create food, and respiration is when the food is used to create energy. Let me show you:
Equation for Photosynthesis:
Carbon dioxide + Water (goes to) or = Glucose + Oxygen
Equation for Respiration:
Glucose + Oxygen (goes to) or = Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

∙ 11y agoEquation wise? Pretty much.
Photosynthesis:
6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
---------------------------------------------
Cellular respiration:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O
--------------------------------------------

∙ 13y agobtw all u did was restate the question.............retard
Wiki User
∙ 13y agothey are opposite from each otheer because photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O+energy->C6H12O6+6O2 and respiration is C6H12O6+6O2->6CO2+6H2O+energy

Is respiration opposite of photosynthesis?
in a way respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis. Because when you look at the formula for each of them one is the reverse of the other. However, photosynthesis is the process of changeing sunlight to energy and respiration is when a cell no longer needs a part of it, or that part gets too old. Say, for example a mitochondria isn't doing it's job, then the cell will break it down and use the remainder if the mitochondria for something else. That is respiration.
What is the process that does the opposite to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.
Is photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
Yes, the two are opposites of each other. Photosynthesis builds up complex sugars that have a lot of stored energy while cellular respiration breaks down these sugars, release the energy and store it in the form of ATP. The products and wastes of one process end up as the reactants for the other process.
How do cellular respiration and photosynthesis relate to each other?
The products of photosynthesis are used as the reactants for cellular respiration, and vice versa. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to create organic molecules and oxygen (O2). In turn, cellular respiration takes those two products (oxygen and organic molecules) to create carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)
Which reaction of cellular respiration is analogous to the light reactions of photosynthesis?
They are the reverse of each other. The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O and the equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2. In keeping with law of conservation of energy, cellular respiration is exothermic and photosynthesis is endothermic. It also explains how plants are able to produce oxygen, which is a symbiotic relationship with animals (who require oxygen.)
How are the chemical equations for photosynthesis and and aerobic respiration different?
They are opposite to each other .

Do photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to each other?
Photosynthesis makes the energy(ATP), then the cellular respiration breaks it down to create food. The Formula is similar, but in opposite directions.
What is the process that does the opposite to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.
How do photosyntesis and sellular respiration complement each other?
Photosynthesis happens in the day, and involves the intake of CO2 and excretion of O2. Respiration happens in the night, and involves the intake of O2 and the excretion of CO2. They opposite, and therefore compliment each other, as they are balanced
Can an organism carry out cellular respiration without photosynthesis how about photosynthesis without cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is possible without photosynthesis in an organism but photosynthesis is not possible without cellular respiration.
How do processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration relate to each other?
Photosynthesis make glucose molecules and store energy. Respiration break up and release energy
Can you reverse photosynthesis and get respiration in cells?
Respiration and photosynthesis are two seoarate processes, so reversing photosynthesis would not give you respiration. However the two processes are in some ways the reverse of each other. Photosynthesis uses CO2 and produces O2. Respiration uses O2 and produces CO2.
Is photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
Yes, the two are opposites of each other. Photosynthesis builds up complex sugars that have a lot of stored energy while cellular respiration breaks down these sugars, release the energy and store it in the form of ATP. The products and wastes of one process end up as the reactants for the other process.
How are photosynthesis digestion alike?
If you mean respiration, they are reverse processes of each other (sort of).
What can Described as the reverse of photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration. Their chemical equations are the reverse of each other.
How is each compound used in a chemical reaction with cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
