Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the products of photosynthesis: glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂).
Understand that cellular respiration is a process that converts glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water (H₂O).
Recognize that glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate, but it does not directly use oxygen.
Note that photosynthesis is the process that produces glucose and oxygen, not one that uses them as reactants.
Consider fermentation, which is an anaerobic process that breaks down glucose without using oxygen, typically producing lactic acid or ethanol and CO₂.
