Which of the following is one of the ways that cellular respiration and photosynthesis are opposite processes? A. Cellular respiration releases energy and photosynthesis stores energy. B. Cellular respiration removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and photosynthesis puts it back. C. Photosynthesis removes oxygen from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back. D. Photosynthesis consumes glucose, and cellular respiration produces glucose.
You could try to look back at the chemical equation for photosynthesis and cellular respiration first. then you'll get the idea of this. Cellular respiration : C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (as ATP) Photosynthesis: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2.
Answer is A because cellular respiration is oxidation of glucose
