Which of the following is true of cellular respiration but not of photosynthesis? Cellular respiration releases energy from glucose. Cellular respiration releases oxygen gas as a product. Cellular respiration is a process in which glucose is formed. Cellular respiration requires carbon dioxide and water as reactants.
Question
Which of the following is true of cellular respiration but not of photosynthesis? Cellular respiration releases energy from glucose. Cellular respiration releases oxygen gas as a product. Cellular respiration is a process in which glucose is formed. Cellular respiration requires carbon dioxide and water as reactants.
Solution
The statement that is true of cellular respiration but not of photosynthesis is: "Cellular respiration releases energy from glucose."
Here's why:
-
Cellular respiration is a process that breaks down glucose to produce ATP (energy) for the cell. This is not true for photosynthesis, which is a process that uses energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.
-
Cellular respiration does not release oxygen gas as a product. Instead, it uses oxygen as a reactant to help break down glucose. On the other hand, photosynthesis does release oxygen gas as a product.
-
Cellular respiration does not form glucose. It breaks down glucose to release energy. In contrast, photosynthesis is the process that forms glucose.
-
Cellular respiration does require oxygen, but it does not require carbon dioxide and water as reactants. These are the reactants for photosynthesis. Cellular respiration's main reactant is glucose.
