Question

select all statements that accurately describe how matter is conserved, and energy is transferred during photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
select all statements that accurately describe how matter is conserved, and energy is transferred during photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
the chemical equation for cellular respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis.
matter is destroyed during cellular respiration as energy is released.
energy is transferred from sunlight to glucose in photosynthesis, and from glucose to atp in respiration.
atp is produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration.
cellular respiration produces glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.
the number and type of atoms in the reactants and products are equal in both processes.

Explanation:

• The chemical equation for cellular respiration ($C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2

ightarrow6CO_2 + 6H_2O+energy$) is the reverse of photosynthesis ($6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light\ energy
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$), so this statement is correct.

• Matter is conserved in cellular respiration (law of conservation of mass), not destroyed, so the statement about matter - destruction is incorrect.
• In photosynthesis, energy from sunlight is converted to chemical energy in glucose. In cellular respiration, energy in glucose is transferred to ATP, so this energy - transfer statement is correct.
• ATP is produced during both photosynthesis and cellular respiration, not just produced in photosynthesis and used in respiration, so this statement is incorrect.
• Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, not the other way around, so this statement is incorrect.
• According to the law of conservation of mass, the number and type of atoms in reactants and products are equal in both processes, so this statement is correct.

Answer:

The chemical equation for cellular respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis.
Energy is transferred from sunlight to glucose in photosynthesis, and from glucose to ATP in respiration.
The number and type of atoms in the reactants and products are equal in both processes.
