Explain why cellular respiration adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and photosynthesis does not
Added by Kristina M.
Step 1
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) to produce energy in the form of ATP, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2). The chemical equation for cellular respiration is: $$C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \rightarrow Show more…
