CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following types of organisms uses cellular respiration for their cellular energy needs?
A
Eukaryotes
B
Plants Only
C
Animals Only
D
Prokaryotes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Organisms from all kingdoms of life, including bacteria, archaea, plants, protists, animals, and fungi, can use cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is essential to both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells because this biochemical energy is produced to fuel many metabolic processes, such as biosynthesis, locomotion, and transportation of molecules across membranes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotic organisms like plants and animals rely on the cell organelle called the mitochondrion for the majority of the energy output from cellular respiration. Prokaryotic organisms like bacteria also perform cellular respiration, but the process instead takes place in the organism’s cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both photosynthesis and cellular respiration are metabolic processes that occur in eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotes carry out cellular respiration with the help of mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles that produce the enzymes necessary to catalyze the series of reactions that produce ATP.
