Answer:
11. b.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis stores energy in carbohydrates, cellular respiration releases energy from carbohydrates.
Glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆, is a carbohydrate.
Write out the equations:
<u>Photosynthesis</u>
carbon dioxide + water + light energy => oxygen + glucose/sugar
CO₂ + H₂O + light => O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆
The carbohydrate is stored in the plant until it needs it, like to perform cellular respiration.
<u>Cellular Respiration</u>
oxygen + glucose/sugar => carbon dioxide + water + ATP energy
O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ => CO₂ + H₂O + ATP
The carbohydrate is used to make energy. Energy is released from carbohydrates.
Glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆, is a carbohydrate.
Fault in other options:
a. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both occur in plants. Plants have mitochondria for cellular respiration.
c. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide.
d. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, cellular respiration uses oxygen.
