Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How are the process of photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?
A
cellular respiration uses glucose to make energy for the plant
B
photosynthesis creates glucose for the plant
C
cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria while photosynthesis takes place in chloroplast
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the process of respiration, oxygen and glucose yield water and carbon dioxide, while carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis occurs in plants and some bacteria. Respiration occurs in all living organisms. Photosynthesis results in gain of dry weight of the plants. Respiration results in loss of dry weight of the plants.
