Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following organisms perform cellular respiration?
A
humans
B
plants
C
bears
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All organisms undergo glycolysis as a part of cellular respiration. This process is nearly the same in organisms from all three of life’s domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body. There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-5: -The purpose of cellular respiration is simple: it provides cells with the energy they need to function. If living things could not get the energy they need out of food, it would be absolutely worthless. All living things would eventually die, no matter the quality and amount of food.
