What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration in fast carbon cycling?

• They are independent processes with no significant connection.

• Photosynthesis releases carbon dioxide, while cellular respiration removes it.

• Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, while cellular respiration returns it.

• They both contribute to the long-term storage of carbon in the Earth's crust.
