CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organisms perform CELLULAR RESPIRATION?
A
Only Autotrophs
B
Only Heterotrophs
C
Autotrophs and Heterotrophs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration occurs in both autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms, where energy becomes available to the organism most commonly through the conversion of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). There are two main types of cellular respiration-aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Heterotrophs use a process called cellular respiration to gather energy from their food. ATP is a multifunctional nucleotide used in cells as a coenzyme. ATP works in intracellular in energy transport, moving energy from one part of a cell to another for metabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two Types of Organisms The types of organisms that are autotrophs include plants as well as some bacteria and protists (such as algae). Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot make their own food. The types of organisms that are heterotrophs include animals, fungi, some protists and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Euglena is autotrophic and heterotrophic both.

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”).
