Question

Which of the following chemical reactions proves the fact that the products of photosynthesis are reactants of respiration? A. Photosynthesis: Respiration: B. Photosynthesis: Respiration: C. Photosynthesis: Respiration:

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is:Photosynthesis: 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂Respiration: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + ATPCellular respiration and photosynthesis are

complement reactions to each other. These are reverse reactions. In

cellular respiration glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂) yield carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) and energy is released in the form of ATP. In the opposite

reaction - in photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) yield glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and

oxygen (O₂).

Answer 2

The correct answer is is A.

In the process of photosynthesis the chemical reaction involves water and carbon dioxide whereby the light is present.

We have 6H2O + 6Co2⇄ 6O2 + C6H12O6.

The oxygen product is being used by all living things to act as a reactant i the process of respiration.
