Solution
The correct option is BCarbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis Carbon dioxide and water released by cellular respiration are used in photosynthesis. Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis and while cellular respiration (aerobic) uses oxygen. Cellular respiration releases the energy in the form of ATP whereas photosynthesis stores energy from sunlight into chemical energy (glucose). Glucose is used during cellular respiration to produce energy while food (glucose) is made during photosynthesis.
