CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Occurs in animals
A
photosynthesis only
B
cellular respiration only
C
cellular respiration and photosynthesis
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration occurs in both plants and animals cells while photosynthesis only occurs in plant cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -While most aerobic respiration (with oxygen) takes place in the cell’s mitochondria, and anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) takes place within the cell’s cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of each cell of the body. Glycolysis occurs inside the cytoplasm, while the TCA cycle occurs inside the matrix of the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists. It is often called aerobic respiration because the process requires oxygen (the root aer comes from the Greek word for “air”).
