The statement that accurately describes the energy needs for photosynthesis and cellular respiration is:
D. Solar energy is needed for photosynthesis, and chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for cellular respiration.
Photosynthesis requires solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while cellular respiration uses glucose (a form of chemical energy) to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
