Which reaction of cellular respiration is analogous to the light reactions of photosynthesis?
They are the reverse of each other. The equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O and the equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2. In keeping with law of conservation of energy, cellular respiration is exothermic and photosynthesis is endothermic. It also explains how plants are able to produce oxygen, which is a symbiotic relationship with animals (who require oxygen.)
What else can I help you with?
Where do the anaerobic reactions of cellular respiration occur in the cell?
The anaerobic reactions of cellular respiration occur in the cytoplasm of the cell.
Where in the cell do the anaerobic reactions of cellular respiration occur?
The anaerobic reactions of cellular respiration occur in the cytoplasm of the cell.
How does the chemical equation for cellular respiration relate to that of photosynthesis?
The chemical equation for cellular respiration is the reverse of the equation for photosynthesis. In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are used to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are used with sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. The two processes are interconnected as they represent opposite reactions in the cycle of energy conversion in living organisms.
How does photosynthesis and cellular respiration form a cycle?
The two chemical reactions essentially form a cycle, in that the products of one reaction fuel the other. CO2 and H2O released from cellular respiration reenter the atmosphere and are recycled by photosynthetic organisms, which in turn produce the sugars and oxygen needed for respiration to occur once more.

Is the Calvin cycle a part of cellular respiration?
No, the Calvin cycle is not a part of cellular respiration. It is a series of reactions that take place in the chloroplasts of plants during photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria and is the process by which cells generate energy from glucose.
Is light common to both cellular respiration and the light reactions of photosynthesis?
Yes, light is common to both cellular respiration and the light reactions of photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, light energy is used to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. In cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is released through a series of reactions to produce ATP, and light is not directly involved in this process.
What chemical reactions take place in your everyday lives?
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
Do the reactions of photosynthesis occur in the mitochondria?
No. Mitochondria carry out cellular respiration. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts.
What is reverse of photosynthesis cellular respiration?
The reverse of photosynthesis is cellular respiration.
Do earthworms perform photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
They perform cellular respiration but not photosynthesis.
Do photosynthesis and cellular respiration both depend on ATP?
Yes both these reactions depend on ATP
Why does cellular respiration depend on photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration reciprocal reactions?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are reciprocal reactions because they have opposite chemical equations. Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration breaks down glucose into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy. The products of one process are the reactants of the other, creating a continuous cycle in nature.
What are the final electron acceptors for the electron transport chains in light reactions of photosynthesis and in cellular respiration?
In the light reactions of photosynthesis, the final electron acceptor is NADP+, which gets reduced to NADPH. In cellular respiration, the final electron acceptor is oxygen, which gets reduced to form water.
How do the overall procces of cellular respiration and photosynthesis compare?
They are basically reverse reactions of the other. Photosynthesis H2O + CO2 + Energy (light) --> Sugar + O2 Cellular Respiration Sugar + O2 --> H2O + CO2 + Energy (ATP)
How is cellular respiration similar to photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both cellular processes organisms use to obtain energy.
Can an organism carry out cellular respiration without photosynthesis how about photosynthesis without cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is possible without photosynthesis in an organism but photosynthesis is not possible without cellular respiration.
