How are digestion and cellular respiration related?

Digestion breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. These nutrients are then used in cellular respiration, a biochemical process that converts these nutrients into energy (ATP) that cells can use to carry out their functions. So, the nutrients obtained through digestion are essential for the cellular respiration process to occur and provide energy to the body.


How does digestion connect photosynthesis to respiration?

Sorry to disappoint you, but digestion DOES NOT connect photosynthesis to respiration.

And the cycle repeats just like that. NOTHING with digestion. Trust me.
