Sure! Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two complementary processes that are closely related and interconnected. During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy from the sun into stored chemical energy in the form of glucose (sugar) and release oxygen as a byproduct. Cellular respiration, on the other hand, is the process by which cells break down glucose molecules to release energy for use in cell functions. This process requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as waste products. In essence, photosynthesis produces the raw materials that are needed for cellular respiration, and the waste products of cellular respiration are used by plants during photosynthesis, forming a mutually beneficial relationship known as the carbon cycle.
