CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What types of organisms perform cellular respiration to make ATP?
A
Only plants
B
Only animals
C
Only animals and fungi
D
All living things
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: -Yeast and bacteria are examples of organisms that use fermentation to generate ATP. ATP synthesized in mitochondria is the primary energy source for important biological functions, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Does cellular respiration occur in all organism types yes. Cellular respiration is an energy-generating process essential for the functioning and survival of all organisms (both autotrophs and heterotrophs).

Detailed explanation-4: -The cells of most living things make ATP from glucose in the process of cellular respiration. This process occurs in three major stages, and one intermediate stage: glycolysis, oxidation of pyruvate, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotic cells carry out cellular respiration within the cytoplasm or on the inner surfaces of the cells. More emphasis here will be placed on eukaryotic cells where the mitochondria are the site of most of the reactions.
