The overall reactions for photosynthesis and cellular respiration are opposite. Select the statement that describes the two processes. A) The process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen is photosynthesis. B) Photosynthesis uses oxygen to release energy from food and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. C) Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produces oxygen. And Cellular respiration uses oxygen to release energy from food and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. D) Cellular respiration uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produces oxygen.

C) Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produces oxygen. And Cellular respiration uses oxygen to release energy from food and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct.

Explanation:

The processes photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the chemical reactions that are same but reversed.  

In cellular respiration, the oxygen is taken from the atmosphere and is used to extract energy and glucose  from the food. In this process, carbon dioxide and water are released in the atmosphere.

In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken from the atmosphere. The intake of the carbon dioxide helps the plants to produce glucose and sugar and in this process oxygen is released in the atmosphere.
