The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration

Photosynthesis

# 6 CO_2 + 6 HO_2 = 1 C_6H_12O_6 + 6 O_2#

Respiration

#1 C_6H_12O_6 + 6 H_2O = 6CO_2 + 6H_2O#

Without the Oxygen and Glucose sugar produced by photosynthesis Cellular Respiration can not occur. Life would not exist.
