Answer 1

D. Solar energy is needed for photosynthesis, and chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for cellular respiration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis requires solar energy from the sun, which energizes electrons and allows for glucose to be created.

In cellular respiration, glucose provides chemical energy when it is broken down. This creates ATP energy for the cell to use.

So, the correct answer is D.
