Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organism go through cellular respiration?
A
animals
B
plants
C
both animals and plants
D
none
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of all organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They make their own food, and then break down those glucose molecules later, generating ATP to power their cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -2)The reason why cellular respiration occurs is the need for energy in both plants and animals. The only difference is that plants undergo photosynthesis and can obtain their energy through solar energy but animals cannot undergo photosynthesis so they are dependent on plants for obtaining energy.

Detailed explanation-5: -The energy contained in these sugars is harvested through a process called cellular respiration, which happens in the mitochondria of both plant and animal cells.
