Question

question 6 of 25
how are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?

a. cellular respiration provides the energy for photosynthesis.

b. photosynthesis produces water molecules, while cellular
respiration splits water molecules apart.

c. cellular respiration is the process animals use to produce glucose,
while photosynthesis is the process plants use to produce
glucose.

d. the products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular
respiration.

Explanation:

• Option A: Photosynthesis uses light energy, not energy from cellular respiration, so A is wrong.
• Option B: Photosynthesis splits water, and cellular respiration produces water, so B is reversed and wrong.
• Option C: Cellular respiration breaks down glucose (animals and plants), photosynthesis (plants) produces glucose. So C's description of cellular respiration is wrong.
• Option D: Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen (products), which are reactants for cellular respiration (which uses glucose and oxygen to make ATP, carbon dioxide, and water). And cellular respiration's products (CO₂, H₂O) are reactants for photosynthesis. So D is correct.

Answer:

D. The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration.
