Question

During the process of photosynthesis, light energy is used to synthesize glucose molecules. Which product from this process is used to convert the glucose to energy during cellular respiration?
Responses

Nitrogen

Water

Answer 1

The product from photosynthesis that is used to convert glucose to energy during cellular respiration is **oxygen**. During photosynthesis, plants produce glucose and oxygen. The oxygen is released as a byproduct and is essential for cellular respiration, where it is used to help convert glucose into energy (ATP) in the presence of oxygen through aerobic respiration.
