<span>Photosynthesis uses h2o and co2 to make glucose c6h12o2 and o2 is a by-product of photosynthesis. Cellular respiration is the opposite it makes 02 and glucose into energy by converting it into co2 h2o and ATP. </span>
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected through an important relationship. The products of one process are the reactants of the other.
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water. While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
