Question

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration, look at the picture

Answer 1

Mike discovered that the  product of cellular respiration are the raw materials  of Photosynthesis while the products of photosynthesis  served as the raw materials for cellular respiration.

He also discovered that respiration is a catabolic process while photosynthesis is an anabolic process.

Another interesting fact seen by Mike is, the respiration releases energy while photosynthesis takes in energy.

Explanation:

• In the equation of cellular respiration , we can see that glucose and oxygen are utilized in the mitochondrion to produce  carbon dioxide , water and chemical energy in the form of ATP.
• Glucose breaks down during cellular respiration .
• Again if we look at the chemical equation for photosynthesis in the chloroplast, we find that Carbon dioxide,which was produced during respiration is utilized along with water in presence of light energy to give out oxygen and Sugar (glucose)
