I'm not sure what YOU already know about photosynthesis and cellular respiration.... however, you SHOULD know that the two are beautifully linked to one another!
Photosynthesis equation:
6CO2+6H2O -> C6H12O6+H2O
Cellular respiration
C6H12O6+H2O -> 6CO2+6H2O
Notice something? The substrates of one equation are the products of the other! We rely on plants for their photosynthetic reactions - and plants benefit from us (not really because there is already a TON of CO2 in the atmosphere) from our cellular respiration
***we like their oxygen and they like our carbon dioxide!
:) I hope that helps! Let me know if you need any more elaboration!
