Answer:

Comparison between the equation for photosynthesis and respiration are given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reaction of photosynthesis

6CO2+12H2O=C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O

In this redox reaction carbon dioxide and water molecules are being utilized as a reactants which reacts with one another to form glucose and liberate oxygen.

Reaction of cellular respiration

C6H12O6+6O2=6CO2+6H2O+Energy

In this reaction glucose molecule is utilized by oxidation which ultimately result in the formation of Carbon dioxide and water.
