Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In what way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration similar?
A
They both occur in chloroplasts.
B
They both require sunlight.
C
They both involve organic and inorganic molecules.
D
They both require oxygen and produce carbon dioxide.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They both involve organic and inorganic molecules. They both require oxygen and produce carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Through photosynthesis, energy from the sun is captured in the bonds of organic molecules. These molecules, glucose molecules, are the basis of all life on Earth. Glucose will be used by the process of cellular respiration to harness chemical energy stored within the covalent bonds of the sugar.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are similar because they both are a series of chemical reactions that cells use to convert energy through different forms. They both also involve an electron transport chain that helps generate ATP.
