Why are cellular respiration and photosynthesis called mirror processes?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
Because the reactants required for cellular respiration (glucose and oxygen) are the products ofphotosyntheses And the and the products of cellular respiration (carbon dioxide and water) are the reactants of photosynthesis.

Is cellular respiration called photosynthesis?
No, they are two separate processes.Both are vital and very important
What is the process by which energy is produced in animals?
Cellular Respiration, which takes place in the mitochondria.
How does Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum relates to cellular respiration or photosynthesis?
The smooth ER is functioned to slpit glucose apart in a process called Glycolysis. The splitting of glucose is part of cellular respiration.
What is the process known as that helps all living things survive?
It is called cellular respiration, all living things do it but plants also do photosynthesis whick materials are made through cellular respiration.
What uses energy from sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose through the process of photosynthesis?
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.
The metabolism of glucose when oxygen is presented is called?
cellular respiration
What is process in which glucose and oxygen react in cells to release energy is called?
Its either Photosynthesis or cellular respiration
The release of energy in plants and animals from food is called?
The release of energy in plants and animals is called respiration.

How does the equation for cellular respiration compare with the equation for photosynthesis?
The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. The equation for photosynthesis is 6H2O + 6CO2 + Light Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Cellular respiration does not require light energy, and photosynthesis does.
What is the process known as that helps all living things survive?
It is called cellular respiration, all living things do it but plants also do photosynthesis whick materials are made through cellular respiration.
What uses energy from sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose through the process of photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration.
What are the processes that break down complex molecules into simpler ones are called?
It's called a catabolic process.
What is the production of ATP in photosynthesis called?
Glycolysis produces ATP in plants to power cellular processes. Photosynthesis harnesses the energy from the sun and stores it in glucose molecules.
