Explanation:

Photosynthetic bacteria perform photosynthesis. The equation for photosynthesis is \(CO_2 + H_2O+light
ightarrow O_2 + C_6H_{12}O_6\). So they take in carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) and release oxygen (\(O_2\)). Animals perform cellular respiration. The equation for cellular respiration is \(C_6H_{12}O_6+O_2
ightarrow CO_2 + H_2O+energy\). So they take in oxygen (\(O_2\)) and release carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)). Methane (\(CH_4\)) is not directly involved in this basic photosynthesis - respiration cycle between photosynthetic bacteria and animals.

Answer:

Photosynthetic bacteria must take in carbon dioxide to live, and they release oxygen. Animals must take in oxygen to live, and they release carbon dioxide.
