Question:

Does cellular respiration need light?

I know that photosynthesis needs light, but i was wondering if cellular respiration needs light?

No, it doesn't need light.
Cellular respiration does not need light. Light in photosynthesis is a driving force, but in cellular respiration, the driving force is the proton gradient.
