Question
the process of cellular respiration is the opposite of...
phagocytosis
osmosis
photosynthesis
the krebs cycle
Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to release energy (using oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water: \( C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{energy} \)). Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water (with light energy) to produce glucose and oxygen (\( 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{light energy}
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \)), so they are opposite processes. Phagocytosis is cell eating, osmosis is water movement, and the Krebs cycle is part of cellular respiration—none are opposites of respiration.
