also what demonstrates that photosynthesis and respiration are cyclically related?

This is sort of a trick question. Cells get their energy from a variety of sources. The most common source is sugar (usually either glucose or sucrose). However, in the absence of sugars, cells can also get energy from fats and protein. That's why, in diet, carbs, fats and proteins all contribute "calories"
Cells USE energy via ATP. Adenosince triphosphate is the "energy currency" because that is what cells actually use in energetic pathways.

Well Glucose becomes energy in the Mitochondria. They're related because, through Respiration, humans make Water and Carbon Dioxide, which plants use to go through Photosynthesis to make glucose, which WE use to go through Respiration.

Cells get their energy from mitochondria.
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are closely related because they are the EXACT opposite of each other.
Cellular Respiration Equation:
glucose + oxygen>>>> carbon dioxide + water+ energy
Photosynthesis Equation:
carbon dioxide + water + energy>>>>>>>>glucose + oxygen
(*the necessary conditions for this reaction are sunlight and chlorophyll*)

Not a plant person I'm afraid so I cant help with you photosynthesis question.
I can however tell you that the molecule which cells use for energy is ATP (Adenine Tri-Phosphate). It is produced during the Kreb's cycle (oxidation of glucose)

well in animal cells, they get most of their energy from mitochondria. in plant cells it is the chloroplast. the molecule itself is mainly glucose. (C6 H12 O6)
in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis, there are cycles that take place.. my advice is to go to www.wikipedia.org and look more in to depth on the two cycles and compare them.. sorry its been a while since i've had biology lol

ALL cells get there energy from ATP... its the power of the cell if you like this is made in the mitochondria of each cell. phontosynesis has the cycle of the kelvin cycle and animals have the krebs cycle.. these both are very detailed processes and i suggest you go thro it as it will be very useful one day trust me lol

Adenosine Triphosphate is a few thing you'll be seeing consistently in biology. time-honored as ATP, its the significant potential molecule for each procedure on your body. so yeah its #4
