Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are like the yin and yang of life: one makes the food, and the other uses it. Photosynthesis converts sunlight into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration breaks down glucose to release energy and produce carbon dioxide and water.
Photosynthesis is the kitchen where the food (glucose) is made, and cellular respiration is the dining table where it's eaten (energy release). Easy peasy!
Think of them as two sides of the same coin: photosynthesis stores energy in glucose molecules, while cellular respiration releases that energy for use by cells.
