explain how the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration compare.

In Photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water is yielded to glucose and oxygen. In respiration, glucose and oxygen is yielded to carbon dioxide and water. C6H12O6 (glucose) + O2(oxygen) → CO2(Carbon Dioxide) + H2O(water) + ATP energy.

The equations of photosynthesis and cellular respiration compare in such a way that one seems like the opposite of the other.

In photosynthesis, inorganic materials such as water and carbon dioxide are used to generate carbohydrates according to the following equation:

[tex]6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy ---> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2[/tex]

In cellular respiration, carbohydrates are broken down to generate energy with water and carbon dioxide being by-products according to the equation below:

[tex]C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 ---> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + energy[/tex]

Thus, the two processes are chemical opposite of each other. The starting materials of photosynthesis are the products of cellular respiration and vice versa.
