Answer 1

The correct statement is:

The main goal of photosynthesis is to build sugars while the main goal of cellular respiration is to break down sugars to gain energy (ATP).

In photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen using sunlight. In cellular respiration, organisms break down glucose (sugar) to produce ATP (energy) while consuming oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide and water in the process.
