Question

Find out if all the below cellular respiration both or photosynthesis
Oxygen is a product
Oxygen is a reactant
Carried out in plants
Carried out in animals
Carbon dioxide is a product
Carbon dioxide is a reactant

Answer 1

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are two essential biological processes, each with distinct characteristics. Here's how they relate to your criteria:

1. **Oxygen is a product**:
- **Photosynthesis**: Yes, oxygen is a product of photosynthesis.
- **Cellular Respiration**: No, oxygen is not produced; instead, it is consumed.

2. **Oxygen is a reactant**:
- **Photosynthesis**: No, oxygen is not a reactant; carbon dioxide and water are the primary reactants.
- **Cellular Respiration**: Yes, oxygen is a reactant in cellular respiration.

3. **Carried out in plants**:
- **Photosynthesis**: Yes, it occurs in plants (and some algae and bacteria).
- **Cellular Respiration**: Yes, it also occurs in plants (as well as animals and other organisms).

4. **Carried out in animals**:
- **Photosynthesis**: No, animals do not perform photosynthesis.
- **Cellular Respiration**: Yes, animals perform cellular respiration.

5. **Carbon dioxide is a product**:
- **Photosynthesis**: No, carbon dioxide is consumed as a reactant.
- **Cellular Respiration**: Yes, carbon dioxide is a product of cellular respiration.

6. **Carbon dioxide is a reactant**:
- **Photosynthesis**: Yes, carbon dioxide is a reactant.
- **Cellular Respiration**: No, carbon dioxide is not a reactant; it is produced during the process.

In summary:

- **Photosynthesis** produces oxygen and consumes carbon dioxide.
- **Cellular respiration** consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide.

Both processes occur in plants, but only cellular respiration occurs in animals.
