Respiration is dependant on photosynthesis in one major way.

Photosynthesis is where plants use carbon dioxide and water to make oxygen and sugar.

Cellular Respiration (how we breathe) requires glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Therefore photosynthesis is required for respiration because without photosynthesis, no oxygen would be created, which means we would have no oxygen to use for our own respiration (breathing).

What is the only step in cell respiration that is not oxygen dependent?

Glycolysis is the only step in cell respiration that is not oxygen-dependent. It takes place in the cytoplasm and does not require oxygen to convert glucose into pyruvate, generating a small amount of ATP in the process.


How is respiration in plants dependent on photosynthesis?

Respiration is the break down of sugars. In plants, sugars are produced through photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, plants would not have the sugar to break down in respiration.
