B The products of cellular respiration can be used by plants for photosynthesis.The products of cellular respiration can be used by plants for photosynthesis.
C The products of photosynthesis can be used by many organisms for cellular respiration.The products of photosynthesis can be used by many organisms for cellular respiration.
D The sugar produced by plants and other autotrophs in photosynthesis can be used by many organisms as a reactant in cellular respiration.
D The sugar produced by plants and other autotrophs in photosynthesis can be used by many organisms as a reactant in cellular respiration.
D The sugar produced by plants and other autotrophs in photosynthesis can be used by many organisms as a reactant in cellular respiration.
To determine which statement does NOT accurately describe the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration, we need to analyze each option.
A. "Water is required for both photosynthesis and cellular respiration." - This statement accurately describes the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration since water is indeed required for both processes.
B. "The products of cellular respiration can be used by plants for photosynthesis." - This statement is also accurate, as the products of cellular respiration, such as carbon dioxide, can be used by plants for photosynthesis.
C. "The products of photosynthesis can be used by many organisms for cellular respiration." - This statement is correct, as the products of photosynthesis, such as glucose, can be used by many organisms for cellular respiration.
D. "The sugar produced by plants and other autotrophs in photosynthesis can be used by many organisms as a reactant in cellular respiration." - This statement is the only option that does NOT accurately describe the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The sugar produced by plants and other autotrophs in photosynthesis (glucose) is not used as a reactant in cellular respiration by many organisms, but rather as a source of energy.
Therefore, the statement that does NOT accurately describe the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is option D: "The sugar produced by plants and other autotrophs in photosynthesis can be used by many organisms as a reactant in cellular respiration."
