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.
Glucose is the starting molecule for which reaction?
Cellular Respiration!!!
What type of reaction is cellular respiration?
The reaction don't have to deal with the equation
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.

What is the name for the chemical equation to cellular resipration?
Aerobic cellular respiration is a combustion reaction.
What reaction reverses photosynthesis?
Cellular Respiration reverses photosynthesis.
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.
