Final answer:

Photosynthesis and respiration are vital processes in biology where plants produce glucose and oxygen through photosynthesis, and then use the stored glucose in respiration to release energy.


Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process where green plants convert carbon dioxide and energy into oxygen and stored carbohydrates. On the other hand, respiration is the process where stored chemical energy is burned to produce energy. The equations for the two processes are:

Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy released
