RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Can cellular respiration occur without photosynthesis?
A
no
B
yes
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If photosynthesis would not take place, there are no glucose and oxygen that are produced. As a result, cellular respiration will not happen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are both part of a mutually beneficial relationship. Cellular respiration cannot occur without photosynthesis, and photosynthesis certainly cannot occur without the help of its partner.

Detailed explanation-3: -Without photosynthesis there would be no glucose or oxygen for respiration. Without respiration there would be no carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The carbon dioxide that is produced by the organismal respiration will be used by the plants to perform photosynthesis. In this way, cellular respiration and photosynthesis have a mutually beneficial relationship; cellular respiration cannot occur without photosynthesis and vice versa.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
