Respiration is the reverse process of photosynthesis.

  • Respiration:

C6H12O6 + H2O --> CO2 + H2O

  • Photosynthesis:

CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + H2O

Therefore, both products of photosynthesis are needed for respiration to occur.

Why are the product of the light reactions of photosynthesis important?

O2 is the byproduct. animals using it for respiration.


What unused bi-products will you use during photosynthesis?

O2 is the unused byproduct of photosynthesis, that you use during cellular respiration.


What is the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration?

In photosynthesis plants use the suns energy as light to give carbon dioxide and water into glucose's. In cellular respiration glucose is ultimately broken down to slow down and or stop carbon dioxide or water, and the energy from this is ATP energyPhotosynthesis stores energy in complex organic molecules, while respiration releases it.


What is the end production of respiration called?

Respiration is basically the opposite of photosynthesis. Respiration uses oxygen and breaks down sugars or carbohydrates for energy and releases CO2 as a byproduct.


What is the connection between a equation for photosynthesis and a equation for respiration?

Photosynthesis creates oxygen as a byproduct which we humans then inhale, and exhale carbon dioxide which is what the plants "inhale."


Is c02 an end product of photosynthesis?

NO! It is not, it is an end product of cellular respiration.


Is carbon dioxide waste photosynthesis or respiration?

Carbon dioxide is a waste product of cellular respiration in organisms and is a raw material used in photosynthesis. During respiration, organisms produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct, while during photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide to produce glucose.


What gas used by both plants and animals is a product of photosynthesis?

Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis that is used by plants and animals for respiration.


What element is both a product of photosynthesis and a reactant in respiration?

The element is oxygen. Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis as a byproduct when water is split, and it is then used as a reactant in the process of cellular respiration to release energy from glucose.


What effect does light have on oxygen in photosynthesis and respiration?

In photosynthesis, light energy is used to split water molecules and release oxygen as a byproduct. This process occurs in the presence of light. In respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose and produce energy, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Light does not directly affect oxygen consumption in respiration.


Are photosynthesis and respiration the same?

No. Actually, they're opposites.


Do plant cells carry on respiration and photosynthesis?

Yes, plant cells carry out respiration and photosynthesis. During respiration, they generate energy by breaking down glucose to produce ATP, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct. In photosynthesis, they convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.
