Answer: It is because glucose and oxygen which are formed during photosynthesis are used in respiration to produce carbon dioxide and water which are the reactants in photosynthesis.

Explanation: The reactants in respiration are the products of photosynthesis while the products of respiration are the reactants in photosynthesis. The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

The equation for respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O.

In photosynthesis one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen are formed from six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water while in respiration six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water are formed from one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen.

Why is less energy needed for reaction to occur when enzyme is present?

RSB [31]

Answer:

enzymes don't affect the free energy of the reactants or products

Explanation:

That is, they don't change whether a reaction is energy-releasing or energy-absorbing overall. That's because enzymes don't affect the free energy of the reactants or products. Instead, enzymes lower the energy of the transition state, an unstable state that products must pass through in order to become reactants.
