Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are true regarding photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
A
Photosynthesis produces carbon dioxide, and cellular respiration uses carbon dioxide
B
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are performed by all plants and animals.
C
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are near-opposite processes.
D
Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in the chloroplasts of a cell.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -B. Photosynthesis is just a reverse equation of cellular respiration. Explanation: Because Photosynthesis needs glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water and energy and Cellular respiration needs carbon dioxide, water and energy to produce glucose and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis almost opposite processes? Photosynthesis releases energy, and cellular respiration stores energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are direct opposite reactions. Energy from the sun enters a plant and is converted into glucose during photosynthesis. Some of the energy is used to make ATP in the mitochondria during cellular respiration, and some is lost to the environment as heat.
