Which statement best describes the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? Photosynthesis removes carbon from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration releases carbon back into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis is part of the carbon cycle, and cellular respiration is not. Only plants perform photosynthesis, and only animals perform cellular respiration. Photosynthesis releases carbon into the atmosphere, and cellular respiration removes carbon from the atmosphere. please hurry

Answer:

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected through an important relationship. This relationship enables life to survive as we know it. The products of one process are the reactants of the other. Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis:

Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O2

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water. While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried through our blood to all our cells. In our cells, oxygen allows cellular respiration to proceed. Cellular respiration works best in the presence of oxygen. Without oxygen, much less ATP would be produced.

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways through which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen during photosynthesis (Figure below) and cellular respiration worldwide helps to keep atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide at stable levels.

Conclusion

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

An important relationship exists between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. This relationship allows life as we know it to continue. The reactants of one process are the products of the other. Take note that the equation for cellular respiration is the inverse of the equation for photosynthesis:

Cellular Respiration:

Glucose + Oxygen \rightarrow Carbon Dioxoide + Water + ATP\\\\C_6H_{12}O_6 + \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O + ATP

Photosynthesis:

                               Photosynthesis

Carbon Dioxide + Water \rightarrow Glucose + Oxygen\\6CO_2 + 6H_2O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2

Main Content

Photosynthesis produces glucose, which is used in cellular respiration to produce ATP. The glucose is then converted back into CO2, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water during cellular respiration. While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and produces oxygen, cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide and produces oxygen. We and most other organisms use the released oxygen for cellular respiration. We breathe in that oxygen, which is carried to all of our cells by our blood. The presence of oxygen in our cells enables cellular respiration to occur. In the presence of oxygen, cellular respiration works best. Without oxygen, far less ATP is produced.

The carbon cycle includes cellular respiration and photosynthesis. The carbon cycle refers to the processes by which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration emits carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis absorbs carbon dioxide. The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen during photosynthesis (shown below) and cellular respiration helps to maintain stable levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
