Solution
The relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is such that one system's products are the other's reactants.
Photosynthesis includes the use of energy in the production of glucose and oxygen from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. For the production of carbon dioxide and water, cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen. The equation for photosynthesis is the reverse of cellular respiration to emphasize this point even more.
Cellular respiration in crops is the method used by plants to transform soil-based nutrients into energy that fuels the cellular operations of crops.
Photosynthesis is a method in which light energy is transformed into chemical energy stored in glucose which can be used in respiration later. On green chlorophyll-containing components of the plant.
Plants consume nutrients during breathing to keep plant cells alive while plants create their own food during photosynthesis.
