Explanation:

Photosynthesis (6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂) and cellular respiration (C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + ATP) are chemical opposites. Photosynthesis occurs in plant chloroplasts; cellular respiration in mitochondria (both in eukaryotes). Many organisms (e.g., plants) do both. Their steps differ (light - dependent/independent vs. glycolysis, Krebs, ETC).

Answer:

The chemical equations for the processes are opposite of each other.
