AEROBIC RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How can photosynthesis be related to cellular respiration?
A
What’s produced (made) by one is needed (the reactants) for the other
B
They both produce the same products
C
They both have the same reactants (need the same things)
D
These 2 processes have nothing in common
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

Detailed explanation-2: -The products and reactants for photosynthesis are reversed in cellular respiration: The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water, which are the products of cellular respiration. The reactants of cellular respiration are oxygen and sugar, which are the products of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Without photosynthesis, there wouldn’t be any glucose or oxygen which kick off the respiration reaction. Without respiration, plants would use up all the CO2 and starve to death. Photosynthesis requires the products from respiration, and respiration requires the products from photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).

Detailed explanation-5: -Connecting Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis The products of one process are the reactants of the other. Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2
