Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is one difference between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration?
A
Cellular respiration uses carbon dioxide and photosynthesis does not.
B
Cellular respiration uses oxygen and photosynthesis produces oxygen.
C
Cellular respiration produces oxygen and photosynthesis does not.
D
Photosynthesis produces more glucose than cellular respiration does.
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: -The principal difference, however, between photosynthesis and respiration is that photosynthesis utilizes carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light to produce glucose and oxygen, whereas respiration uses oxygen and glucose to power the activities of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
