Why can photosynthesis and respiration be considered reverse process?

∙ 7y ago
Photosynthesis (water + carbon dioxide + sunlight ---> oxygen + sugar) and respiration (oxygen + sugar ---> water + carbon dioxide) are considered reverse processes because the reactants for photosynthesis are the products of respiration and the reactants for respiration are the products of photosynthesis.

∙ 7y agoReverse process is probably not the exact wording but photosysnysis uses carbon dioxide made by animals and sunlight as energy and water to produce hydrocarbons and oxygen. In the complementary process called respiration, animals use the hydrocarbons and oxygen that plants produce to produce the complex molecules that they need. This is more like a cycle rather than a reverse process.

A by-product of photosynthesis which is necessary for respiration is?
Respiration is the reverse process of photosynthesis.Respiration:C6H12O6 + H2O --> CO2 + H2OPhotosynthesis:CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + H2OTherefore, both products of photosynthesis are needed for respiration to occur.
What is the process that does the opposite to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.
What type of respiration are carbon dioxide water and energy the products of?
The process of (aerobic) cellular respiration combines a carbohydrate with oxygen to release energy. This oxidation reaction is the "reverse" of photosynthesis.
Aerobic respiration is essentially the reverse equation of?
photosynthesisThe NET reaction is the reverse of photosynthesis but the reactions in between are different
Is cellular respiration a reverse process of photosynthesis?
Yes, they are nearly the exact opposite. While the equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O (in the presence of light)yields C6H12O6+6O2 the equation for respiration is C6H12O6+6O2 (in the presence of enzymes) yields 6CO2+6H2O As you can see, the factor in these equations preventing them from being completely opposite is the presence of light or the presence of enzymes. In this aspect, the equations are not the opposite.
What process is the reverse of respiration?
The reverse is photosynthesis.
What is reverse of photosynthesis cellular respiration?
The reverse of photosynthesis is cellular respiration.
How are the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?
The overall equation of photosynthesis differs from the reverse of the overall equation of cellular respiration in that sunlight is not needed in the reverse of cellular respiration. Also, chlorophyll need not be present for the latter process.
What is the respiration of green plants?
Photosynthesis, 6co2+6H2o+ sunlight=C6H12O6+6o2 Cellular Respiration is the reverse process of Photosynthesis C6H12O6 =6CO2+6H2O.
Does DNA replicate in cellular respiration or photosynthesis?
There is no replication of the DNA in cellular respiration or photosynthesis. In cellular respiration, you have biological oxidation of the glucose molecule. In case of the photosynthesis you have the reverse process that takes place.

What is the process that does the opposite to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.
What process is cellular respiration sort of the reverse of?
Cellular respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, water and energy in the form of ATP. Photosynthesis uses sunlight as an energy source and produces oxygen and water.
What type of respiration are carbon dioxide water and energy the products of?
The process of (aerobic) cellular respiration combines a carbohydrate with oxygen to release energy. This oxidation reaction is the "reverse" of photosynthesis.
Can you reverse photosynthesis and get respiration in cells?
Respiration and photosynthesis are two seoarate processes, so reversing photosynthesis would not give you respiration. However the two processes are in some ways the reverse of each other. Photosynthesis uses CO2 and produces O2. Respiration uses O2 and produces CO2.
What are the products produced through the process of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the reverse reaction of aerobic respiration: Carbon dioxide + water ----> glucose + oxygen Glucose and oxygen are the products.
What aerobic respiration is essentially the reverse equation of?
photosynthesisThe NET reaction is the reverse of photosynthesis but the reactions in between are differentPhotosynthesis_is_the_answer_to_your_question.
