Do you think glycolysis is a reversed process of photo synthesis? Why or why not? Explain both the aspects that why would you consider glycolysis as a reversed process of photosynthesis as well as why would you not consider it as a reverse process. Include all the reactions required and all the possible explanation in favor of your answer.

Photosynthesis is the process of making food by plants with the help of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. During photosynthesis, the plant utilizes the energy from the sun and uses this energy in a series of processes to manufacture glucose. However, once the glucose is manufactured it is further used up by the plant as food. On the other hand, glycolysis is a part of cellular respiration where the glucose molecule is broken down into smaller derivatives and the energy intermediates for further utilization of the by-products in other metabolic activities.
