Question

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)
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
