Question

Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are interdependent

Answer 1

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Without photosynthesis there would be no glucose or oxygen for respiration. Without respiration there would be no carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process of putting energy from glucose into a usable form in a molecule called ATP. It is a series of complex biochemical reactions where all the energy stored in glucose (which stores a lot) is transferred to other molecules, which can use it more efficiently.

Photosynthesis can be thought of as the opposite reaction. Photosynthesis absorbs energy, rather than emits energy.

The two are clearly dependent on each other. Without photosynthesis, there wouldn't be any glucose or oxygen which kick off the respiration reaction. Without respiration, plants would use up all the

Photosynthesis requires the products from respiration, and respiration requires the products from photosynthesis.
