CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both involve the use and release of gases. Which statement correctly identifies the role of gases in the two processes?
A
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
B
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
C
Cellular respiration uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, while photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
D
Cellular respiration uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Q. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both involve the use and release of gases. Which statement correctly identifies the role of gases in the two processes? Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both use carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Answer and Explanation: Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration have a chemiosmosis process that involves the movement of electrons down an electron transport chain. The source of the electrons is different for each of the processes (water in photosynthesis, glucose in cellular respiration).

Detailed explanation-5: -Which statement correctly identifies the role of gases in the two processes? Cellular respiration uses oxygen and released carbon dioxide, while photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.
