Question

the process of cellular respiration is the opposite of...
phagocytosis
osmosis
photosynthesis
the krebs cycle

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to release energy (using oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water: \( C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{energy} \)). Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water (with light energy) to produce glucose and oxygen (\( 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{light energy}
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \)), so they are opposite processes. Phagocytosis is cell eating, osmosis is water movement, and the Krebs cycle is part of cellular respiration—none are opposites of respiration.

Answer:

Green. Photosynthesis
