RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular respiration is similar in both plants and animals in what way?
A
Energy is required and oxygen is released.
B
Nitrogen is required and energy is released.
C
Oxygen is required and energy is released.
D
Oxygen is required and carbon is released.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. This process releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products.

Detailed explanation-2: -During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Energy released during the reaction is captured by the energy-carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration in plants and animals involve chemical reactions with oxygen that release stored energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lesson Summary. Photosynthesis is how plants combine light, water, and carbon dioxide to produce energy (glucose) and oxygen. The glucose powers the plants functions, and the oxygen is released back into the atmosphere. Cellular respiration is how animals combine glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level. The purpose of cellular respiration is simple: it provides cells with the energy they need to function.
