How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis almost opposite processes? Question 28 options:
a. Photosynthesis releases energy, and cellular respiration stores energy.
b. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.
c. Photosynthesis removes oxygen from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.
d. all of the above

Respuesta :

Answer:

Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis utilizes carbon dioxide and water releasing glucose and oxygen in the process.

Aerobic Respiration occur in the presence of oxygen to release atp and CO2 and H2O

Oseni

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are almost opposite processes in that photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while cellular respiration puts it back. Thus, B would be the correct option.

During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is fixed into carbohydrates in series of reactions whose equation is summarized below:

[tex]6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O ---> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6 O_2[/tex]

During cellular respiration, carbohydrates are broken down to release energy, with carbon dioxide and water as by-products. The equation of the process is summarized below:

[tex]C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6 O_2 ---> 6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O + ATP[/tex]

Thus, the two processes can be thought of as the opposite of each other.
