The general equation for aerobic respiration is as follows:
Organic compounds + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
Usually the organic compound is glucose, but other nutrients can be involved as well. The specific equation for glucose (and is most commonly used) is:
C6H12O6+ 6 O2→ 6 CO2+ 6 H2O + Energy (34-36 ATP + heat)
Alcohol Fermentation
Glucose → Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide + Energy (2 ATP)
C6H12O6→ 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 + Energy (2 ATP)
Lactic Acid Fermentation
Glucose → Lactic Acid + Energy (2 ATP)
C6H12O6 → C3H6O3 + Energy (2 ATP)
C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + Energy (as ATP)
or
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (as ATP)
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.
Because the end products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the requirement to start cellular respiration.
Chemical bonds
Oxygen and glucose. The formula for basic cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 (aq) + 6O2 (g) → 6CO2 (g) + 6H2O (l) ΔHc -2880 kJ (formula taken from wikipedia's article on cellular respiration)
chemical energy
The products of the cellular respiration formula are the reactants of the photosynthesis formula, and the reactants of the cellular respiration formula are the products of the photosynthesis formula. Basically, they are opposite processes.
The first step of the process is the digestion.

How is each compound used in a chemical reaction with cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
its a chemical change
The same chemical reaction is occurring in both cellular respiration and decomposition. An organic compound such as glucose is used as fuel to run cellular respiration.
glucose is broken down by cellular respiration
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.
I think its oxygen.
I don't know, someone answer PLEAZ!
Light energy does not affect respiration, but it is needed for photosynthesis, which in plants creates the chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that are oxidized in cellular respiration.
Aerobic cellular respiration is a combustion reaction.
