CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which of the following ways are photosynthesis and cellular respiration alike?
A
Both processes produce glucose
B
Both processes consume carbon dioxide
C
Both processes take place in the chloroplast
D
Both processes involve energy transformation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which energy is converted to chemical energy in plant cells. In cellular respiration plants use the chemical energy stored during photosynthesis in basic life processes. During both photosynthesis and cellular respiration, energy is converted.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, and cellular respiration releases the energy from glucose to build ATP, which does the work of life. Moreover, photosynthesis reactants CO2 and H2O are products of cellular respiration.
