During cellular respiration, cells break down food to release energy. During photosynthesis, cells produce food in the form of glucose. What is one difference between these two processes?

• Cellular respiration uses oxygen and photosynthesis produces oxygen.

• Cellular respiration uses carbon dioxide and photosynthesis does not.

• Cellular respiration produces oxygen and photosynthesis does not.

• Photosynthesis produces twice as much glucose than cellular respiration does.
