The process of photosynthesis is always shown first in the cycle.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Either of the processes of cellular respiration or photosynthesis can be shown first because a cycle has no start or finish.

This reflects the cyclical nature of carbon cycling, where both processes are interconnected and can occur in various sequences without a definitive starting point.
