Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are true about how respiration and photosynthesis are related?
A
The products of respiration are the reactants in photosynthesis
B
The products of respiration and photosynthesis are the same.
C
The reactants of photosynthesis and respiration are the same.
D
Respiration and photosynthesis are both carried out by all organisms.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Both cellular respiration and photosynthesis are parts of a mutually beneficial relationship.

Detailed explanation-2: -The products and reactants for photosynthesis are reversed in cellular respiration: The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water, which are the products of cellular respiration. The reactants of cellular respiration are oxygen and sugar, which are the products of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -A. Photosynthesis is just a reverse equation of cellular respiration. Explanation: Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are biological processes in which matter and energy flow through the biosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -They are related also because they are dependent on each other. The product of photosynthesis i.e., glucose (food) is utilised in respiration to yield energy (ATP). Which doing so, it releases many other simple molecules (CO2+H2O) which are utilised in photosynthesis to produce more sugers.

Detailed explanation-5: -The answer is (B) Photosynthesis stores energy in complex organic molecules, while respiration releases it.
