carbon dioxide is converted into sugars in a process called carbon fixation; photosynthesis captures energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrate. carbon fixation is an endothermic redox reaction. in general outline, photosynthesis is the opposite of cellular respiration: while photosynthesis is a process of reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrate, cellular respiration is the oxidation of carbohydrate or other nutrients to carbon dioxide. nutrients used in cellular respiration include carbohydrates, amino acids and fatty acids. these nutrients are oxidized to produce carbon dioxide and water, and to release chemical energy to drive the organism's metabolism. photosynthesis and cellular respiration are distinct processes, as they take place through different sequences of chemical reactions and in different cellular compartments.
