What is the formula for cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Question

Isaac Ayoub · Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis: energy + carbon dioxide + water = glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration is the reverse of the photosynthesis formula.

Light energy (from the sun), carbon dioxide, and water are needed for photosynthesis, which is how plants make glucose, their food source. As a byproduct, plants release oxygen because they have more oxygen than they require. #"6CO"_2 + 6"H"_2"O" stackrel("Light energy")-> "C"_6"H"_12"O"_6 + 6"O"_2# Your product will be your raw materials in order to obtain the formula for cellular respiration, so just reverse it: #"C"_6"H"_12"O"_6 + "6O"_2 -> "6CO"_2 + "6H"_2"O + energy"# I hope this was useful.

undefined Cellular Respiration:
C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen) → 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) + ATP (energy)

Photosynthesis:
6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) + light energy → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen)
