Answer

In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down by using oxygen in the air, and carbon dioxide and energy are then released. In photosynthesis, energy is used to combine carbon dioxide and water to make glucose, and oxygen is then released into the atmosphere. We can see that these two reactions do the opposite of one another.
