Question

What is opposite of photosynthesis
Show equations

Answer 1

respiration as in photosynthesis o2 is released and in respiration it is absorbed

Answer 2

Respiration is opposite of photosynthesis

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

6CO2 + 6H20 (ALONG WITH SUNLIGHT)-----> C6H1206 + 6O2

during photosynthesis process plants absorb light energy and use that energy to make glucose

the product also includes oxygen which is released as gas

RESPIRATION

C6H12O6 + 6O2 (MITOCHONDRIA) ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O

during respiration sugar ie glucose is broken down in a chemical reaction with oxygen.

the end products are carbon dioxide and water

carbon dioxide is released outof the body

so respiration is opposite of photosynthesis
