PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?
A
Cellular respiration stores ATP, while photosynthesis releases ATP.
B
Cellular respiration produces oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen.
C
Photosynthesis releases energy, while cellular respiration stores energy.
D
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces 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: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried through our blood to all our cells.
