Question

Photosynthesis and respiration are interdependent.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. Plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis.
2. Respiration is defined as a metabolic process wherein, the living cells of an organism obtains energy (in the form of ATP) by taking in oxygen and liberating carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances
3. Photosynthesis and respiration are interlinked processes as during photosynthesis glucose and oxygen is formed, and during respiration, glucose is broken down to release carbon dioxide and energy, which in turn is used in process of photosynthesis.
4. They are required to keep the atmospheric balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations.

Final answer :The given statement is true.
