Question

The sun's energy is absorbed by plants and converted into glucose during __________. Animals eat the plants and convert the glucose into useable energy in a process called __________.
A) chemosynthesis; photosynthesis
B) photosynthesis; cellular respiration
C) cellular respiration; photosynthesis
D) ATP; cellular respiration

Answer 1

The sun's energy is absorbed by plants and converted into glucose during photosynthesis. Animals eat the plants and convert the glucose into useable energy in a process called cellular respiration.

Further Explanation:

The photosynthesis reaction mainly occurs in Chloroplast and cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria and cytoplasm. Photosynthesis is an anabolic process. Photosynthesis is the process by which glucose and oxygen are produced with the help of carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

 ${\text{6C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{+6}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}\to{\text{6}}{{\text{C}}_{\text{6}}}{{\text{H}}_{{\text{12}}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}}{\text{+6}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{+CHEMICAL}}\,{\text{ENERGY+ATP}}$

Photosynthesis starts with the absorption of light or solar energy by the plant pigments called chlorophyll. The activated chlorophyll molecule helps in the electron transfer from one acceptor to another forming a chain. Mainly photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast of bacteria, algae, and plants.

In the cellular respiration process, animal utilizes glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide released by the body is then absorbed by the plant and then they utilize it as an energy source. So, the cellular respiration process uses glucose to produce energy and photosynthesis uses sunlight to produce glucose.

Answer 2

B) photosynthesis; cellular respiration 

Photosynthesis is the process of how plants make their food. They use sun's light, water and CO2 to make glucose and turn it into energy. 

Cellular respiration involves a series of chemical reactions.The reactions that are catalysed by enzymes actually helps the organism to grow, respond to various changes in the environment, reproduce and continue maintaining their own structures. Cellular respiration is also considered a part of the metabolism process. This process actually helps in carrying the oxygen through the blood.
