Question

Which of the following correctly describes how cellular respiration is different from photosynthesis?

A. Cellular respiration uses ADP as the high energy molecule while Photosynthesis uses ATP.
B. Cellular respiration uses ATP as the high energy molecule while Photosynthesis uses ADP.
C. Cellular respiration uses sunlight as the main source of energy while Photosynthesis uses glucose
D. Cellular respiration uses glucose as the main source of energy while Photosynthesis uses sunlight.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Cellular respiration uses ATP as the high energy molecule while Photosynthesis uses ADP.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B. Cellular respiration uses ATP as the high energy molecule while Photosynthesis uses ADP.

During cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP, the molecule that provides energy for cells to perform work. On the other hand, photosynthesis uses the energy from sunlight to convert ADP into ATP, which is then used to build carbohydrates.

So, while cellular respiration uses ATP as the high energy molecule, photosynthesis uses ADP.
