Exploring the Connection Between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

The video explains the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration, likening it to a cycle where the waste product of one process fuels the other. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria, using glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. This cycle is essential for energy production in living organisms.

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

• They both consume carbon dioxide as their main input.

• The waste product of one process is used as a key input for the other.

• They operate independently without affecting each other.

• They both produce oxygen as a waste product.
