How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
these two processes work together to harvest the energy from sunlight, package it into chemical molecules, and break down those molecules to power the growth, movement, and functions of all organisms and their cells. Photosynthesis converts solar energy to stored chemical energy, and cellular respiration converts that stored chemical energy to ATP, an energy molecule used directly by the cell. Hope that helps :)
They're related in number of ways..Imma give you a site that will help you in understaning How they relate... http://www.buzzle.com/articles/how-is-photosynthesis-related-to-cellular-respiration.html
You both did help Thank You.
Also, one thing that's easy to remember is that photosynthesis and cellular respiration have basically opposite equations: Photosynthesis -- 6CO2+6H2O --> (with light) C6H12O6+6O2 Cellular Respiration -- C6H12O6+6O2 --> 6H20+6CO2(+ATP) PS: Welcome to OpenStudy, @marazza! If you have any questions about the site, I'd be happy to help :)
What I see is related between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration is that: Materials used in one process, are used in the other.
