Question

which statement is accurate?
photosynthesis only occurs in warm - blooded animals.
cellular respiration only occurs in plants.
the chemical reaction of photosynthesis is the reverse of cellular respiration and vice versa.

Explanation:

• Photosynthesis occurs in plants (with chlorophyll), not warm - blooded animals.
• Cellular respiration occurs in both plants and animals (all living cells).
• The chemical equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O

ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\) (using light energy), and for cellular respiration is \(C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2
ightarrow6CO_2+6H_2O+\text{energy}\). They are reverse reactions.

Answer:

The chemical reaction of photosynthesis is the reverse of cellular respiration and vice versa.
