Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement is true about photosynthesis and respiration?
A
Photosynthesis stores energy, and respiration releases it.
B
Respiration stores energy and photosynthesis releases energy.
C
Photosynthesis and respiration are the same.
D
Photosynthesis and respiration are not related
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis transforms light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, and cellular respiration releases the energy from glucose to build ATP, which does the work of life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis releases energy, while cellular respiration stores energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose. The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air, and stores energy within the glucose molecules. Inside the plant cell are small organelles called chloroplasts, which store the energy of sunlight.

Detailed explanation-4: -So the correct option is ‘Carbon dioxide is reduced and water oxidised’.
