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
Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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: -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-3: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis makes glucose which is used in cellular respiration for making ATP. The glucose is then transformed back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. It helps cells to release and store energy.
