Plants and animals both take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen during cellular respiration.

Plants use oxygen for photosynthesis, which animals then use for cellular respiration.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Plants use oxygen for photosynthesis, which animals then use for cellular respiration.

This statement accurately reflects the relationship between plants and animals in terms of how they rearrange atoms in chemical reactions to support their functions. Plants perform photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, while animals use the oxygen produced by plants in cellular respiration to break down glucose for energy, releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
