The opposite of photosynthesis is cellular respiration. Photosynthesis stores up energy in the form of complex sugars while cellular respiration breaks down these sugars in order to harvest their energy. The fact that they are opposites are reflected in their chemical equations, as shown below.
Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --> 6C6H12O6 + 6O2
Cellular respiration: 6C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 34ATP

Does the reduction of CO2 occur in respiration or photosynthesis?
photosynthesis respiration produces co2, uses o2 photosynthesis opposite
What is the opposite of photosynthesis it begins with r?
Respiration
What process which is the opposite of photosynthesis enables plants to use the energy in food?
Respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis, and organisms use it to release the energy stored in food.
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.
What process is equal to the rate of photosynthesis?
Respiration is opposite to the photosynthesis. It use O2 gas to burn glucose.
Is photosynthesis the opposite of respiration?
Yes. respiration is the opposite reaction of photosynthesis.
What is the opposite process of respiration?
photosynthesis

How are photosynthisis and respreation are considered opposite prosses?
The end products of photosynthesis are the reactants in respiration. This leads us to the conclusion that photosynthesis and respiration are opposite processes.
What process which is the opposite of photosynthesis enables plants to use the energy in food?
Respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis, and organisms use it to release the energy stored in food.
What chemical process may be described as the opposite of respiration?
Photosynthesis is considered as the opposite of respiration.
What is cellular respiration and how does it react with photosynthesis?
cellular respiration is pretty much the opposite of photosynthesis..i think.
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.
What process is equal to the rate of photosynthesis?
Respiration is opposite to the photosynthesis. It use O2 gas to burn glucose.
