Summary reaction of photosynthesis and respiration. |
| Answer» Photosynthesis\xa0makes the glucose that is used in\xa0cellular respiration\xa0to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in\xa0photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during\xa0photosynthesis, in\xa0cellular respiration\xa0oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.\xa0The energy from sunlight drives the reaction of carbon dioxide and\xa0water\xa0molecules to produce\xa0sugar\xa0and oxygen, as seen in the chemical equation for photosynthesis. Though the equation looks simple, it is carried out through many complex steps. | |
