It's stored as STARCH for later use.
What TWO waste products result from cellular RESPIRATION in plants?

Where does CELULLAR RESPIRATION occur?
It occurs in the MITOCHONDRIA of cells.
HOW are photosynthesis and cellular respiration RELATED?
Plants use the waste products from cellular respiration during photosynthesis, in a never-ending cycle.
