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 is aerobic respiration similar to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are inverse reactions. This means that the reactants of respiration are the products of photosynthesis and the reactants of photosynthesis are the products of cellular respiration. In addition, both metabolic pathways are processes that provide energy to the cell.
How does photosynthesis and cellular respiration form a cycle?
The two chemical reactions essentially form a cycle, in that the products of one reaction fuel the other. CO2 and H2O released from cellular respiration reenter the atmosphere and are recycled by photosynthetic organisms, which in turn produce the sugars and oxygen needed for respiration to occur once more.

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 is cellular repiration related to photosynthesis?
the products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration
What is the opposite reaction of photosynthesis called?
Photosynthesis is the opposite reaction of cellular respiration. Photosynthesis makes sugar to store energy, while cellular respiration breaks down sugar to use energy.
Is light common to both cellular respiration and the light reactions of photosynthesis?
No, light is not necessary for cellular respiration.
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration reactions in dynamic equilibrium?
The products of respiration are the reactants of photosynthesis and vice versa. They create a cycle.
What chemical reactions take place in your everyday lives?
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
Do the reactions of photosynthesis occur in the mitochondria?
No. Mitochondria carry out cellular respiration. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts.

What is reverse of photosynthesis cellular respiration?
The reverse of photosynthesis is cellular respiration.
The cells of a redwood tree require oxygen for the process of?
Cellular Respiration
Do earthworms perform photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
They perform cellular respiration but not photosynthesis.
Do photosynthesis and cellular respiration both depend on ATP?
Yes both these reactions depend on ATP
Why does cellular respiration depend on photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
What are the final electron acceptors for the electron transport chains in light reactions of photosynthesis and in cellular respiration?
NADP in photosynthesis, and oxygen in cellular respiration.
What important molecule that is needed for cellular respiration is released when water is split in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
Oxygen
