Which of the following best describes how the photosynthesis in grass cells is related to the cellular respiration in a cow's cells? ...?

A.)The carbon dioxide produced during the cow's cellular respiration is absorbed and used in the grass cells' photosynthesis to make ATP.

B.)The energy stored in the grass cells' glucose during photosynthesis is eaten and used by the cow's cells to make ATP during cellular respiration.

C.)The carbon dioxide produced by photosynthesis in the grass cells is breathed and used to make ATP in the cow's cells during cellular respiration.

D.)The ATP produced during photosynthesis in the grass cells is eaten by the cow and stored as glucose during cellular respiration.

Answer :

The correct answer is B.)The energy stored in the grass cells' glucose during photosynthesis is eaten and used by the cow's cells to make ATP during cellular respiration. This best describes how the photosynthesis in grass cells is related to the cellular respiration in a cow's cells. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help. 

Answer:

The correct answer would be option B .

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary in nature as they produce substrates for each other.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants or photoautotrophs like green plants, grass et cetera make their food or glucose from simple compounds like carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

The oxygen is released as the byproduct.

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + solar energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

In contrast, the animals or consumers such as cow use these products (glucose and oxygen) to produce energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration.  

Carbon dioxide and water are released as the waste product of the process.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + energy (ATP)
