Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis and respiration are complementary processes, with photosynthesis using carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen, while respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (energy). Therefore, photosynthesis stores energy in complex organic molecules (glucose), while respiration releases it.
