The false statement is: **it produces oxygen and carbohydrates**.<br /><br />Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms break down glucose (a carbohydrate) in the presence of oxygen to release energy. The products of this process are carbon dioxide and water, not oxygen and carbohydrates. Photosynthesis, on the other hand, produces oxygen and carbohydrates.<br />
