B. Water evaporates from plants faster under the most intense light.
C. Photosynthesis occurs at the higher rate under the most intense light.
D. Gases in the leaves of the plants expand most under the most intense light.

critical compound for all cells?
A. It causes mitosis to begin.
B. It is an energy-transfer molecule.
C. It is a major component of cell membranes.
D. It carries information from DNA to the ribosomes.
9. Which of the following statements correctly describes the processes of photosynthesis and cellular
respiration?
A. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in the same organelle.
B. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are performed by all organisms.
C. Photosynthesis produces carbon dioxide, and cellular respiration uses carbon dioxide.
D. Photosynthesis stores energy for cells, and cellular respiration releases energy for cells.
