Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the reactants (inputs) of photosynthesis/ the products (outputs) of cellular respiration? Check all that apply.
A
Some type of energy
B
Water
C
Oxygen
D
Glucose
E
Carbon dioxide
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: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol, the citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative phosphorylation occurs on the inner mitochondrial membrane. The starting reactants of cellular respiration include glucose, ATP, and NAD+; and the final products include ATP and H2O.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration: inputs – glucose, oxygen. Outputs – carbon dioxide, energy, water. Photosynthesis: inputs – light energy, carbon dioxide, water. Outputs – glucose, oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O
