17. Think about photosynthesis and cellular respiration. For each description, determine whether it applies only to photosynthesis, only to cellular respiration, or both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.(3 points)

Question

photosynthesis cellular respiration
involves at least one chemical reaction

rearranges carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms

occurs in cells in green plants

occurs in cells in animals

produces glucose that can be stored for later use

uses glucose as a source of energy

Answer 1

Here’s a breakdown of each description regarding its applicability to photosynthesis, cellular respiration, or both:

1. Involves at least one chemical reaction

   • Both Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

2. Rearranges carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms

   • Both Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration

3. Occurs in cells in green plants

   • Photosynthesis Only

4. Occurs in cells in animals

   • Cellular Respiration Only

5. Produces glucose that can be stored for later use

   • Photosynthesis Only

6. Uses glucose as a source of energy

   • Cellular Respiration Only

So summarized, the classifications are:

• Both: Involves at least one chemical reaction, Rearranges carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms
• Photosynthesis Only: Occurs in cells in green plants, Produces glucose that can be stored for later use
• Cellular Respiration Only: Occurs in cells in animals, Uses glucose as a source of energy
