Well a first give away is that one is endothermic and one is exothermic. Also photosynthesis is just the flip around of the cellular respiration process but just add energy and the catalyst used
Photosynthesis takes Carbon dioxide, Water and light energy and makes Sugars and Oxygen. Cellular respiration takes Sugars and Oxygen and makes Carbon dioxide, water and energy.
The two processes are the inverse of one another one stores energy and the other releases that stored energy.
Both reactions compliment one another by supplying what the other needs. Cellular respiration is a metabolic reaction to create ATP. In the last step of this process, cells relies upon the fuel supplied by a molecule of Oxygen which is what is created by Photosynthesis. Organisms that use oxygen as a final electron acceptor in respiration are described as aerobic, while those that do not such as are referred to as anaerobic (such as photosynthesis). Two byproducts of this reaction are water and carbon dioxide, CO2 & H2O, and both are needed to assist in the process of photosynthesis.
Cellular respiration has the equation:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -------------------> 6CO2 + 6H2O
While photosynthesis has the equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O -------------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Now if you'll notice, these equations are actually the same, just backwards meaning that the products of photosynthesis become the reactants for cellular respiration which become the products for photosynthesis and so on.

They are inverse processes because they are the same operation just a different outcome, and that outcome is considered opposites.
photosynthesis and cellular respiration can smd.
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are inverse reactions. This means that the reactants of respiration are the products of photosynthesis and the reactants of photosynthesis are the products of cellular respiration. In addition, both metabolic pathways are processes that provide energy to the cell.
Photosynthesis
Oxygen cycles through the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both cellular processes organisms use to obtain energy.
Yes, these are opposite processes
Photosynthesis provides glucose and oxygen in order for cellular respiration to occur.
They are inverse processes because they are the same operation just a different outcome, and that outcome is considered opposites.
Photosynthesis CO2 + H2O + Sunlight Cellular respiration O + Glucose Raw materials for these processes.
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.
The Processes Of Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Form Carbon Dioxide-Oxygen Cycle

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
There are a number of comparisons between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Both processes eventually produce energy which is passed on to other parts of the organisms to b used for various processes.
Photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + O2 Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O reactants and products are switched
The statement " All the products of Photosynthesis i.e Sugar, Oxygen are the reactants of Cellular Respiration , and all the products of Cellular Respiration i.e Carbon Dioxide are the reactants of Photosynthesis ." ,describes that the two most integral metabolic processes i.e Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are inter-related .
