Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which way are photosynthesis and cellular respiration different?
A
Cellular respiration stores ATP, while photosynthesis releases ATP.
B
Cellular respiration produces oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen.
C
Photosynthesis releases energy, while cellular respiration stores energy.
D
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.
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: -Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two biochemical processes that are essential to most life on Earth. Both of these processes involve multiple complex steps and many of the same molecules-oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), glucose (C6H12O6), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways through which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy, but cellular respiration converts light energy into heat energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the process of respiration, oxygen and glucose yield water and carbon dioxide, while carbon dioxide and water yield glucose and oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.
