The correct answers are:

1. cellular respiration and photosynthesis both involve water.

Water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, while in cellular respiration oxygen combined with hydrogen forms water.

2. cellular respiration uses sugar, and photosynthesis produces sugar. Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP.
