Is photosynthesis to oxygen as respiration is to carbon dioxide?

Photosynthesis emmits oxygen as end product Like that respiration release carbon dioxide.


Why does photosynthesis not continue during the night like cellular respiration does?

plants respire during the day as well the rate of respiration is lower than the rate of photosynthesis in the day


How is the equation for respiration related to the photosynthesis equation?

They both use the same things but photosynthesis's products are what respiration starts with like respirtion needs oxgyen and glucose or sugar and photosynthesis is what give the oxgyen and glucose (sugar).


Does photosynthesis is like cellular respiration backwards?

In cellular respiration, organic molecules and oxygen are taken in to create carbon dioxide and water. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are taken in to create organic molecules and oxygen.


How does digestion connect photosynthesis to respiration?

Sorry to disappoint you, but digestion DOES NOT connect photosynthesis to respiration. Photosynthesis and respiration comes from plants and animals, when the animal breathes out CO2, and they receive the oxygen when the plant inhales the CO2 and breathes out oxygen. That's it. And the cycle repeats just like that. NOTHING with digestion. Trust me.


Do plants use the oxygen released during photosynthesis for respiration?

Yes, plants, just like animals, require oxygen for the process of respiration. But during the day hours, they are involved in photosynthesis which requires the intake of carbon dioxide. The rate of respiration in plants is very low as compared to the rate of photosynthesis.


In what way is photosynthesis and cellular respiration interdependent processes?

the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis requires CO2 (carbon dioxide) organisms that are heterotrophs, like us, which cannot produce their own food consume autotrophs like plants, which do produce their own food. a by-product of cellular respiration is CO2 a by-product of photosynthesis is O2 organisms like us need O2 to live organisms like plants need CO2 to live (and to support us in life--we eat them because they have sugar [i.e., glucose])


How do plants get their energy from photosynthesis?

Plants harvest the chemical energy from the sugars they produced in photosynthesis. They have mitochondria and are capable of running cellular respiration. Cellular respiration breaks down macromolecules (like sugars) and turns it into usable energy for the cell.


How do cows help photosynthesis in plants?

Just like you the expel a lot of carbon dioxide due to respiration.


Is cellular respiration found in mitochondria in plant cells or animal cells of both?

Cellular Respiration is only in animals. Photosynthesis is in plants. To be precise, photosynthesis is in the mitochondria of organism like us, and respiration is in the leaves of plants. Photosynthesis and Respiration together are a cycle- plants give out oxygen and use carbon dioxide while we humans (and other organisms) use oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. I just just learned this in school. :)


What wasted product do planes excrete because of photosynthesis?

The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen. Many people consider oxygen a waste product. However, plants need oxygen just like animals and other organisms do in order to carry out aerobic cellular respiration. So oxygen is really not a waste product of photosynthesis.


How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis related in terms of energy?

Photosynthesis is the processes that plants use to transform sunlight into energy for the plants to use. Cellular respiration is very much like photosynthesis however rather then be simply just for plants it is how organisms as a whole convert various forms of energy in order to use it.
