Question

Which statement describes the difference between photosynthesis in chloroplasts and cellular respiration in the mitochondria? O A. Photosynthesis makes energy carriers, but cellular respiration breaks them down OB. Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down. C. Photosynthesis occurs in most plants and animals, but cellular respiration does not. D. Photosynthesis requires reactants and products, but cellular respiration does not. ​

Answer 1

Photosynthesis involves the use of energy from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. ... For example, both processes synthesize and use ATP, the energy currency.

Answer 2

B. Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process that creates glucose from carbon dioxide and water.

On the other hand, cellular respiration creates ATP energy.

In order to create this energy, cellular respiration breaks down glucose to create energy in glycolysis, the Kreb's Cycle, and the Electron Transport Chain.

So, B is the correct answer.
