Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following cycles does photosynthesis produce oxygen and respiration produce carbon dioxide?
A
the water cycle
B
the carbon cycle
C
the nitrogen cycle
D
the hydrogen cycle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis by land plants, bacteria, and algae converts carbon dioxide or bicarbonate into organic molecules. Organic molecules made by photosynthesizers are passed through food chains, and cellular respiration converts the organic carbon back into carbon dioxide gas.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, plants give off oxygen as a waste product. Carbon dioxide moves from the air into the leaves of plants through tiny openings in the plant’s leaves. Oxygen moves out of the plant leaf through these same openings. All animals, including humans, require oxygen to survive.
