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

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis releases energy, and cellular respiration stores energy. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back. Photosynthesis removes oxygen from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back. products of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process of respiration produces energy for organisms by combining glucose with oxygen from the air. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are changed into energy and carbon dioxide. Therefore, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere during the process of cellular respiration.
