Editor's Notes
So, in effect, photosynthesis is respiration run backwards powered by light. Cellular Respiration oxidize C 6 H 12 O 6 CO 2 & produce H 2 O fall of electrons downhill to O 2 exergonic Photosynthesis reduce CO 2 C 6 H 12 O 6 & produce O 2 boost electrons uphill by splitting H 2 O endergonic
