Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis almost opposite processes?
A
Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.
B
Photosynthesis releases energy, and cellular respiration stores energy.
C
Photosynthesis removes oxygen from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Respiration and Photosynthesis are almostopposite processes because photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while respiration puts back carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration uses oxygen and has it’s waste product of carbon dioxide (CO2).

Detailed explanation-2: -How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis almost opposite processes? Photosynthesis releases energy, and cellular respiration stores energy. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water and carbon dioxide are byproducts. Notice that photosynthesis and respiration are essentially the opposite of one another. Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2. Respiration takes O2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with CO2.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are almost opposite because photosynthesis takes in CO2 and releases oxygen whereas cellular respiration takes in oxygen and releases CO2.
