Based on the model of photosynthesis and respiration, the student can conclude the following about cellular respiration:
**b Oxygen and glucose are used to make energy.**
In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water. The other options do not accurately summarize the process of cellular respiration:
- **a** is true for both photosynthesis and respiration, but not the main focus for cellular respiration.
- **c** is not correct; heat energy is usually a byproduct, but it's not converted to light energy in respiration.
- **d** is misleading; while carbon dioxide is released, oxygen is consumed during cellular respiration rather than released.
Thus, option **b** is the most accurate conclusion regarding cellular respiration.
