What chemical process may be described as the opposite of respiration?

Photosynthesis is considered as the opposite of respiration.


Why is the process that takes place in a mitochandrian often described as being the opposite of the process that takes place in a chloroplast?

I'm not sure if it's accurate to say that the process that takes place in the mitochondria is in fact the opposite of what takes place in the chloroplast. Rather, I would say that the biochemical process of cellular respiration (which partially takes place in the mitochondria) is the opposite of the biochemical process of photosynthesis (which does take place in the chloroplast). In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to breakdown carbohydrates for energy and carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct. In photosynthesis the energy of sunlight is absorbed by the synthesis of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen is released as a byproduct. Thus cellular respiration and photosynthesis can be described as opposite processes. However, the process of cellular respiration does not occur exclusively in the mitochondria but occurs in part in the cytoplasm, so I think it's more accurate to say that cellular respiration is the opposite of photosynthesis than mitochondria have the opposite function of chloroplasts.


Is photosynthesis biochemistry?

Yes, photosynthesis is a biochemical process that occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria. It involves capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.


Oxygen is given off during which biochemical process?

Oxygen is given off during the process of photosynthesis, where plants, algae, and some bacteria convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight.


Why are cellular respirstion and photosynthesis opposite processes?

Well the big indicator is that the reactants of the photosynthesis process is the products of the respiration process. Also, one is an endothermic reaction and one is an exothermic

Photosynthesis


What is the opposite process of photosynthesis?

The opposite is cellular respiration, more specifically aerobic respiration. This process uses oxidation to release the energy stored in carbohydrates.
