Which statement describes how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are interrelated?

A. Oxygen is produced during cellular respiration and stored during photosynthesis.

B. Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis.

C. Photosynthesis releases the energy that is stored during the process of cellular respiration.

D. Glucose is used during cellular respiration to produce food that is broken down during photosynthesis.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B.

Explanation:

The two main processes for the survival of living organisms is the photosynthesis and cellular respiration. These processes are served different functions to the organism but they are inter-related to each other.

The cellular respiration produces the by-products in the form of carbon dioxide and metabolic water which gets utilized during the photosynthesis. The water is utilized during the light-dependent reaction where water is broken down releasing oxygen utilized during respiration.

The carbon dioxide is utilized during the light-independent reaction in the synthesis of a glucose molecule.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
