Describe the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

• Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are unrelated processes.

• Photosynthesis converts glucose into energy, while cellular respiration converts energy into glucose.

• Photosynthesis produces oxygen and glucose, which are used in cellular respiration to produce energy.

• Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both produce glucose.

How does cellular respiration contribute to the cycling of matter in living organisms?

• It breaks down glucose to release carbon dioxide and water, which are then used in photosynthesis.

• It stores energy in the form of glucose.

• It only occurs in plants.

• It does not contribute to the cycling of matter.

Explain how cellular processes allow for the organization of complex organisms.

• Cellular processes are random and do not contribute to organization.

• Cellular processes such as cell division and differentiation lead to the formation of tissues and organs, organizing complex organisms.

• Cellular processes only occur in single-celled organisms.

• Cellular processes disrupt the organization of complex organisms.

What is homeostasis, and how do cellular processes maintain it?

• Homeostasis is the process of cell division, and cellular processes do not maintain it.

• Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment, and cellular processes such as feedback mechanisms help maintain it.

• Homeostasis is the production of energy, and cellular processes disrupt it.

• Homeostasis is the breakdown of glucose, and cellular processes do not affect it.
