Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Carbon Dioxide is to Photosynthesis as Oxygen is to ____
A
Anaerobic Respiration
B
Photosynthesis
C
Cellular Respiration
D
Energy
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, water is broken down to form hydrogen ions and oxygen gas is given off as waste. The released oxygen is used by all living organisms that carry out respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are released as byproducts.

Detailed explanation-4: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested as chemical energy in a process that converts water and carbon dioxide to glucose. Oxygen is released as a byproduct. In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose, releasing chemical energy and heat in the process.
