How is C6H12O6 important to photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

C6H12O6 (glucose) is relevant to both of these processes, because...
Glucose is the end product of photosynthesis. After generating ATP and NADPH from the "light reactions" in the electron transport chain, both these molecules (ATP and NADPH) go on to power the Calvin Cycle, or "dark reaction". The end product of the Calvin Cycle is a molecule of G3P, which is made into glucose.
Cellular respiration is essentially the "inverse" of photosynthesis- where photosynthesis makes glucose, cellular respiration breaks it down into ATP, so that it might be used by the cell. There is aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration, which occur differently, but the common goal of the two processes is to break down glucose. Glycolysis precedes cellular respiration itself, which is the actual process of breaking down the glucose molecules into pyruvate.

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
Why does cellular respiration depend on photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
What is the respiration of green plants?
Photosynthesis, 6co2+6H2o+ sunlight=C6H12O6+6o2 Cellular Respiration is the reverse process of Photosynthesis C6H12O6 =6CO2+6H2O.
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis almost opposite process?
photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration puts it back.Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.
What is the photosynthesis equation plus the cellular respiration equation?
photosynthesis eqn :- 6CO2 + 12H2O -----> C6H12O6 +6O2 Respiratory eqn :- C6H12O6 +6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 12H2O So, photosynthesis eqn = Respiration eqn
What is the counterpart to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 12H2O ----> 6O2 + C6H12O6 + 6H2O Cellular respiration: 6O2 + C6H12O6 ----> 6CO2 + 6H2O
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
Why does cellular respiration depend on photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration opposite processes?
Photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + O2 Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O reactants and products are switched
What is the respiration of green plants?
Photosynthesis, 6co2+6H2o+ sunlight=C6H12O6+6o2 Cellular Respiration is the reverse process of Photosynthesis C6H12O6 =6CO2+6H2O.
How can photosynthesis and respiration be summarized into equations?
Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O.
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis almost opposite process?
photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration puts it back.Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.
What is the photosynthesis equation plus the cellular respiration equation?
photosynthesis eqn :- 6CO2 + 12H2O -----> C6H12O6 +6O2 Respiratory eqn :- C6H12O6 +6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 12H2O So, photosynthesis eqn = Respiration eqn
What is the main difference between the end result of photosynthesis and the end result of cell respiration?
The end result of photosynthesis is the ingrediants neccesary for cellular respiration, and vice versa. In other words: Photosynthesis 6H2O + 6CO2 = C6H12O6 + 6O2 Cellular Respiration C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6H2O + 6CO2
What’s the equation of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
The standard equations based on glucose in a redox reaction. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----------------------------------------- Cellular respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O -----------------------------------------
Are photosynthesis and respiration opposite reactions and why?
Yes, because photosynthesis (CO2+H2O -> C6H12O6+O2) stores energy and cellular respiration (C6H12O6+O2 -> CO2+H2O) releases stored energy.
What statement is correct about photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
The chemical equations for the processes are opposites of each other. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is: solar energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 The chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. The ONLY difference is that photosynthesis uses sunlight while cellular respiration produces energy in the form of ATP. :)
