Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

Question 13 • First Semester Biology

Which is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Answer
A
Cellular respiration makes the glucose that is needed by photosynthesis.
B
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is broken down by cellular respiration.
C
Cellular respiration converts the glucose that is made by photosynthesis to oxygen.
D
Photosynthesis converts the glucose that is made by cellular respiration to carbon dioxide.

Explanation

Photosynthesis uses light energy to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water. Cellular respiration then breaks down that glucose to release energy, so choice B, “Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is broken down by cellular respiration,” describes their relationship.
