Answer:
yes respiration is the opposite process of photosynthesis
Explanation:
as we know that respiration is a catabolic process and photosynthesis is an anabolic process
during respiration we break down glucose ( C6H12O6) into CO2 and H2O
including ATP
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
during photosynthesis we make the glucose molecule by the combination of CO2 and H2O in the presence of sunlight
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
