Question

What best explains the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? The higher the rate of formation of products in respiration, the lower the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis depends on the carbon dioxide released during cellular respiration. Cellular respiration depends on the water released during photosynthesis. They have the same set of product molecules.

Answer 1

A) Photosynthesis removes carbon from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration releases carbon back into the atmosphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis produces the glucose that is utilized in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then converted back into carbon dioxide, which is utilized in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen through photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is blended with hydrogen to form water.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
