Show answer Hide answer
Answer
The two processes swap gases and keep oxygen and carbon dioxide balanced.

Explanation

  • Photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide and gives out oxygen.
  • Respiration takes in oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide.
  • So one process uses what the other gives out.
  • This keeps the gases in the air balanced for all living things.
Together they recycle oxygen and carbon dioxide, keeping nature in balance.
