B.
Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration take place during the light and during the dark.
C.
Photosynthesis breaks down sugars to release energy, while cellular respiration stores energy as sugars.
D.

Answer:

D.Photosynthesis only takes place in the light, while cellular respiration takes place in the light and dark.

Option D, Photosynthesis only takes place in the light, while cellular respiration takes place in the light and dark.

Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product.

Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by- products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.

What is differences between Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Cellular Respiration

In this process, food particles are broken down to release energy.

It is an exergonic reaction as energy is released.  

Glucose and oxygen are the reactants of this process.

Undergoes Catabolic Process.

photosynthesis

Carbon dioxide, water and light energy are the reactants of this process.

In this process, food is synthesized by capturing energy.

Producing food and capturing energy.
