Question

which statements accurately describes the energy needs for photosynthesis and cellular respiration? o solar energy is needed for cellular respiration but not for photosynthesis. o chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for both cellular respiration and photosynthesis. o chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for photosynthesis, and solar energy is needed for cellular respiration. o solar energy is needed for photosynthesis, and chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for cellular respiration.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis uses solar energy to convert carbon - dioxide and water into glucose (chemical energy). Cellular respiration uses the chemical energy stored in glucose to produce ATP for the cell's energy needs.

Answer:

Solar energy is needed for photosynthesis, and chemical energy in the form of glucose is needed for cellular respiration.
