The correct statement about the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration is:
D. Plants perform both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
- Plants perform photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, which occurs in the chloroplasts.
- They also perform cellular respiration to generate ATP from glucose, which occurs in the mitochondria.
Animals, on the other hand, do not perform photosynthesis; they only carry out cellular respiration.
