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.

What is natural selection ?
sergejj [24]
Natural selection is a theory developed by Charles Darwin. It is believed that animal species evolve by nature "selecting" the ones that are fit to live in specific environments. For example, if an animal lacks a trait that is needed for a certain environment, it is likely to die. The animals that have the needed traits are more likely to live and procreate, which will pass on the trait to its offspring. Hope this helped!
