ENERGY FLOW AND PRIMARY PRODUCTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Plants use up some of the energy they generate via photosynthesis by doing cellular respiration.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are direct opposite reactions. Energy from the sun enters a plant and is converted into glucose during photosynthesis. Some of the energy is used to make ATP in the mitochondria during cellular respiration, and some is lost to the environment as heat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They make their own food, and then break down those glucose molecules later, generating ATP to power their cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are biological processes in which matter and energy flow through the biosphere. These two processes are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between living organisms and the environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis makes glucose which is used in cellular respiration for making ATP. The glucose is then transformed back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. It helps cells to release and store energy.
