In the context of cellular respiration, which process uses the products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) as reactants to produce energy for the cell?
A
Chemiosmosis in chloroplast thylakoid membranes
B
Fermentation
C
Aerobic cellular respiration
D
Photosynthesis (Calvin cycle)
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the products of photosynthesis, which are glucose (C\_6H\_12O\_6) and oxygen (O\_2).
Understand that these products serve as reactants in another cellular process that generates energy for the cell.
Recall the main processes of cellular respiration: aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, and fermentation.
Recognize that aerobic cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell, along with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.
Conclude that the process which uses photosynthesis products (glucose and oxygen) to produce energy is aerobic cellular respiration.
