Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, in small structures called chloroplasts. ... In cellular respiration, the energy stored in the bonds of the glucose molecule is broken down and transformed to another type of energy
The relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is such that the products of one system are the reactants of the other. Photosynthesis involves the use of energy from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. To emphasize this point even more, the equation for photosynthesis is the opposite of cellular respiration.
