The chemical equation for respiration shows that the glucose from photosynthesis is combined with oxygen. Notice that the equation for respiration is the opposite of that for photosynthesis: C6H12O6 + 6O2 (6CO2 + 6H20 + energy. Most respiration processes take place in another subcellular organelle, the mitochondrion. ................
