Which statement best describes the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

During photosynthesis, organisms take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use its carbon to make sugars, so photosynthesis removes carbon from the air. During cellular respiration, organisms break down sugars and release carbon dioxide, returning carbon to the atmosphere. Therefore, the best statement is that photosynthesis removes carbon from the atmosphere and cellular respiration releases it back.
