Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are part of the carbon cycle. Which statement best compares these two processes? Bo
th release carbon dioxide as waste. Both provide organisms with usable energy. Both add bacteria to the soil. Both require fixation in order to convert molecules.
Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration, a component of the carbon cycle provides an organism with usable energy.
Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food using carbon dioxide and water using sunlight to produce energy rich glucose and oxygen gas as a by-product.
During cellular respiration is an oxygen driven aerobic process in which organisms breaks down glucose to produce energy rich ATP.
Both processes furnishes an organism with energy in the end.
Although, photosynthesis is an energy building process, cellular respiration breaks down materials to liberate energy.
This energy is used by both plants and animals for their living activities.
Therefore, photosynthesis and cellular respiration provides an organism with usable energy.
