Question

which graphic organizer best compares the energy inputs and outputs of cellular respiration and photosynthesis? a chemical energy → cellular respiration → thermal energy → photosynthesis b light energy → photosynthesis → chemical energy → cellular respiration → chemical energy c chemical energy → photosynthesis → thermal energy → cellular respiration → chemical energy d light energy → cellular respiration → chemical energy → photosynthesis → thermal energy

Explanation:

Photosynthesis uses light energy to produce chemical energy. Cellular respiration uses chemical energy and releases some as thermal energy while also producing chemical - energy in the form of ATP. Option B correctly shows light energy input to photosynthesis producing chemical energy which is then used in cellular respiration to produce more chemical energy.

Answer:

B. Light energy → Photosynthesis → Chemical energy → Cellular respiration → Chemical energy
