Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the general reaction for photosynthesis:

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

This is the general reaction for cellular respiration:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + heat

You can see that the products of photosynthesis are the reactants in cellular respiration.
