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 releases energy, while cellular respiration stores energy.
C
Cellular respiration produces oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen.
D
Photosynthesis used carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process in which plants convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis occurs only in the chloroplasts of a cell. Cellular respiration is the opposite process where plants and animals break down oxygen and glucose into water, carbon dioxide, and ATP used for energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Cellular respiration produces oxygen, while photosynthesis uses oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried through our blood to all our cells.
