Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How can photosynthesis be related to cellular respiration?
A
What’s produced (made) by one is needed (the reactants) for the other
B
They both produce the same products
C
They both have the same reactants (need the same things)
D
These 2 processes have nothing in common
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis makes glucose which is used in cellular respiration for making ATP. The glucose is then transformed back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. It helps cells to release and store energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The products and reactants for photosynthesis are reversed in cellular respiration: The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water, which are the products of cellular respiration. The reactants of cellular respiration are oxygen and sugar, which are the products of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration makes carbon dioxide and water (and ATP), which are the starting products (together with sunlight) for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Connecting Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O.
