Question

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related

a. they both require energy from the sun

b. they are both performed by plants

c. they are both performed by animals

d. they both produce glucose molecules

Answer 1

b. they are both performed by plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process of transforming light energy into chemical energy by green plants. During the process, the plants make use of solar energy in order to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates. And also releases oxygen into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis is called primary production because the food produced by the process makes the base of most ecosystem food chains. It stores energy at the bottom level of the food chain.

All animals are dependent on photosynthesis because animals depend on glucose as their energy source, but they are incapable of producing it on their own, so they must depend on plants in order to get glucose.

And also the oxygen that animals breathe is released during photosynthesis.

Cellular respiration:

It is the process through which living cells degrade glucose molecules, releasing energy, and store it as ATP molecules. Overall, glucose and oxygen react to generate carbon dioxide and water in this three-stage process.
