An important similarity between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is that both processes

Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration use ATP and make ATP. Photosynthesis produces ATP during the light reactions and uses it to help build sugars; cellular respiration uses some ATP to begin breaking down glucose and produces much more ATP as it proceeds. The other choices do not describe both processes: they have different effects on oxygen and glucose.
