Question

Complete the following statement: ATP energy molecules are the product of _____(1)_____. This energy comes from the reactant of solar energy during _____(2)_____.

A) (1) photosynthesis, (2) cellular respiration

B) (1) cellular respiration, (2) photosynthesis

C) (1) fermentation, (2) anaerobic respiration

D) (1) anaerobic respiration, (2) photosynthesis

Answer 1

B
Every living thing makes energy through respiration and plants use solar energy during respiration.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer for the blanks is-

B) (1) cellular respiration, (2) photosynthesis.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell as it is used for driving most of the cellular processes. It is a product of cellular respiration (oxidation of food to derive energy in the form of ATP).

This energy comes from the reactants in the process of photosynthesis ( a process of formation of food by green plants and algae in presence of sunlight using CO2 and H2O).

Thus, option B) is the right answer.
