CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why does cell respiration and photosynthesis rely on each other?
A
They are the same process
B
Cell respiration must occur first, then photosynthesis
C
They are opposites, meaning the products of one process is needed by the other process
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In this process, the carbon dioxide and water in presence of sugar get converted into sugar and oxygen. But Cellular respiration, on the other hand, is the process by which living things convert oxygen and glucose to carbon dioxide and water, thereby yielding energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are dependent on each other as the products of each of these reactions initiate the other reaction. The sugar molecules or glucose molecules produced in the reaction of photosynthesis are used as reactant molecules in the respiration reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Respiration and Photosynthesis are almostopposite processes because photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while respiration puts back carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and has it’s waste product of carbon dioxide (CO2).
