Question

identify whether each characteristic describes photosynthesis, cellular respiration, or both processes move the answers to the correct boxes. each answer may be used more than once. converts energy releases oxygen consumes oxygen occurs in plants photosynthesis cellular respiration

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Photosynthesis

• Photosynthesis converts light energy to chemical energy (glucose). It releases oxygen (as a byproduct of splitting water). It occurs in plant cells (chloroplasts). So characteristics: Converts energy, Releases oxygen, Occurs in plants.

Step2: Analyze Cellular Respiration

• Cellular Respiration converts chemical energy (glucose) to ATP (usable energy). It consumes oxygen (in aerobic respiration) to break down glucose. It occurs in plant (and animal) cells (mitochondria). So characteristics: Converts energy, Consumes oxygen, Occurs in plants.

Answer:

Photosynthesis:

• Converts energy
• Releases oxygen
• Occurs in plants

Cellular Respiration:

• Converts energy
• Consumes oxygen
• Occurs in plants
