Question

Which of the following is true about plants and cellular energy?

A.
Plants use light energy to produce food molecules during photosynthesis and obtain cellular energy from the bonds of these food molecules during cellular respiration.
B.
Plants use light energy to produce food molecules during cellular respiration and to obtain cellular energy from the bonds of these food molecules during photosynthesis.
C.
Plants can use light energy to produce food molecules or to obtain cellular energy from the bonds of these food molecules during cellular respiration.
D.
Plants can use light energy to produce food molecules or to obtain cellular energy from the bonds of these food molecules during photosynthesis.

Answer 1

A.

Plants use light energy to produce food molecules during photosynthesis and obtain cellular energy from the bonds of these food molecules during cellular respiration.

Answer 2

A. plants use light energy to produce food molecules during photosynthesis and obtain cellular energy from the bonds of these food molecules during cellular respiration.

Step-by-step explanation:

• photosynthesis is the process through which plants synthesize food with light energy (photo-)
• photosynthesis is the process by which organisms, such as green plants, use light energy to produce food
• cellular respiration is the process by which living things, including both plants and animals, obtain energy from the bonds of food molecules
• therefore, plants use light energy to produce food molecules during photosynthesis, and obtain cellular energy from the bonds of these food molecules during cellular respiration
