Cellular respiration is a process that is vital to all eukaryotic cells. Photosynthesis is another important process in eukaryotes as well. In fact, in
several organisms cells can perform both processes, such as leaf cells in plants. The equations for each process are shown above. Which of the
statements below BEST helps to explain the relationship between them?
A. The chemical products of photosynthesis are the chemical reactants of cellular respiration. The chemical products of Cellular Respiration
are the chemical reactants of Photosynthesis.
B. The chemical reactants of photosynthesis are the chemical reactants of cellular respiration. The chemical products of Cellular Respiration
are the chemical products of Photosynthesis.
C. These two reactions have no relationship. They are completely independent processes.
D. Plants perform Photosynthesis and animals perform cellular respiration.
