How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration connected?

Solution
Photosynthesis: It is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
Cellular respiration: Process by which organisms combine oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, waste products, carbon dioxide, and water.
Interrelation of photosynthesis and cellular respiration:
- Photosynthesis makes glucose which is used in cellular respiration for making ATP.
- The glucose is then transformed back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis.
- It helps cells to release and store energy.
- It maintains the atmospheric balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
