Question

question 1 - 6
how are the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration interrelated?
photosynthesis releases energy and cellular respiration stores energy.
photosynthesis is unique to plants and cellular respiration is unique to animals,
the products of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water; cellular respiration produces oxygen and sugars.
photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

• Photosynthesis: Plants use carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), water (\(H_2O\)), and light energy to produce glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)). The equation is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light

ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\).

• Cellular respiration: Organisms (including plants, animals, etc.) use glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The equation is \(C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2

ightarrow 6CO_2 + 6H_2O+energy\).

• So, photosynthesis removes \(CO_2\) from the atmosphere (using it as a reactant) and cellular respiration releases \(CO_2\) into the atmosphere (as a product).

Answer:

Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
