Respiration is a catabolic reaction - it breaks down a complex molecule (glucose) and forms simpler molecules (carbon dioxide and water).
Respiration is neither a dehydration synthesis nor a hydrolysis because dehydration synthesis means formation of a molecule by removal of water molecule from two reactants . On the other hand hydrolysis involves addition of water molecule after breakage of water , nothing of these two happens in 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.
What type of reaction is cellular respiration?
The reaction don't have to deal with the equation
Glucose is the starting molecule for which reaction?
Cellular Respiration!!!
What reactant needed for cellular respiration is absent from the fermentation reaction?
oxygen
An ATP forming reaction that requires oxygen?
Cellular respiration or the Krebs cycle.

Glucose is the starting molecule for which reaction?
Cellular Respiration!!!
What reaction reverses photosynthesis?
Cellular Respiration reverses photosynthesis.
What is the name for the chemical equation to cellular resipration?
The chemical equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
What is Cellular respiration is required for?
Oxygen is required for cellular respiration, because it is one of the ingredients needed for the metabolic reaction to occur, along with glucose.
What is the chemical reaction fro cellular repiration?
The overall chemical reaction for aerobic cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6H2O + 6CO2.
What reactant needed for cellular respiration is absent from the fermentation reaction?
oxygen
What is the chemical reaction that reverses photosynthesis?
Cellular Respiration reverses photosynthesis.
Is one of the products of respiration carbon dioxide?
Yes it is. The reaction for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O.
What process is energy converted to glucose?
I believe you may have misinterpreted a concept. You cannot convert energy into matter. However, if you meant "what process is glucose converted to energy?" then the answer would be glucose hydrolysis and the Krebs Cycle (for organisms involved in oxidative phosphorylation). It's a very beautiful process involving innumerable proteins and molecules =D.
What chemical reaction that occurs during mitochondria?
I think you are asking about the respiration reaction Glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water C6H1206 + 6 O2 ---> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O (balanced equation)
