Question

Process of photosynthesis is ______.  

Options

• faster when respiration is more

• slower when respiration is slow

• always equal to respiration

• independent of respiration

Answer 1

The process of photosynthesis is independent of respiration. 

Explanation:

Only in the presence of light can photosynthesis occur, although the light is not necessary for respiration to occur. Energy is used during respiration after being stored during photosynthesis. The two processes are thus independent of one another.
