Question

What makes the reactants of photosynthesis and the reactants of cellular respiration similar? (1 point)

• Both involve ATP molecules.
• Both involve light energy.
• Both involve combinations of glucose, water, and carbon dioxide.
• Both involve combinations of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Answer 1

I believe the correct alternative is c) Both involve combinations of glucose, water, and carbon dioxide.

• The formula for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. (glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water).
• While the formula for Photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O2. (Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Glucose + Oxygen).

I hope this helps and I hope you have a lovely day! :)
