Question

What are the starting materials and products of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis usually happens in the leaves of the plants.This process undergoes a
complex process and involves two stages.The light dependent stage uses water as its
raw material and has its product which is oxygen and NADPH. Carbon dioxide is the material used for the second stage - the light independent stage. During this stage, glucose has been created.

Photosynthesis is the process to store energy and cellular respiration releases the energy stored. Glucose and Oxygen are the materials used in cellular respiration and releases water and carbon dioxide.Cellular Respiration goes through the processes Glycolysis,Transition Reaction, the Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain and Chemiosmosis, respectively.
