RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration differ in which of the following ways?
A
The energy conversion in cellular respiration takes place in the chloroplast.
B
The main source of energy in cellular respiration is glucose.
C
The main source of chemical energy in cellular respiration is water.
D
The final product of cellular respiration is electromagnetic radiation.
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: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested as chemical energy in a process that converts water and carbon dioxide to glucose. Oxygen is released as a byproduct. In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose, releasing chemical energy and heat in the process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy, but cellular respiration converts light energy into heat energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
