Question

15. How are the reactions for photosynthesis and cellular respiration
related?

a. The glucose and oxygen produced in photosynthesis are used as reactants in
aerobic cellular respiration
b. The glucose and oxygen produced in photosynthesis are used as reactants in
anaerobic cellular respiration
c. The carbon dioxide and water produced in photosynthesis are used as reactants in
aerobic cellular respiration
d. The carbon dioxide and water produced in photosynthesis are used as reactants in
anaerobic cellular respiration

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

In photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide are used as reactants to produce glucose and oxygen.

carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen

In aerobic respiration, glucose and oxygen are used as reactants to produce carbon dioxide and water.

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water.

Answer 2

Answer:

a or b

Explanation:

The reactants of one process are the products of the other process. For example, carbon dioxide, produced by cellular respiration, is one of the reactants for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen. Glucose and oxygen are used by many organisms for cellular respiration.
